General
Pacific CBIT aims to supporting Pacific Islands Countries to build institutional and technical capacity to meet enhanced transparency requirements as defined in Article 13 of the Paris Agreement. The CBIT will play a key role to assist countries with tools and training as they prepare their Biennial Transparency Reports (BTR), due by Dec 2024. CBIT has three aims: · Strengthen national institutions for transparency-related activities in line with national priorities · Provide relevant tools, training and assistance for meeting the provisions stipulated in Article 13 of the Paris Agreement · Assist in the improvement of transparency over time In the Pacific, GGGI is executing first CBIT in Fiji with UNEP as Implementing Agency under GEF. Fiji’s CBIT led an idea on developing Pacific sub-regional CBIT and replicate Fiji’s. GGGI will work with UNEP to develop full CBIT proposals under Project Preparation Grant under a one-step process and will seek funding from GEF. Each Pacific country is expected to secure around 1.5m USD over three years. Initially 11 Pacific Islands countries are targeted knowing current CBIT’s in Fiji, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. As part of the first batch, following countries are considered – Tonga, Cook Islands, PNG, FSM, Palau and RMI. GGGI has already secured CBIT support letters from Palau, Tonga and Cook Islands. Discussions are continuing with Samoa and Kiribati. GGGI has also provided support to remaining Pacific countries – Niue, Nauru and Tuvalu. Hence there is a greater possibility to club remaining countries into second batch.
