3. Background Lebanon’s INDC Cut CO2 emissions 15% 30%
Unconditional target
30%
Conditional to finance, technical support
and capacity building

4. Background

5. Background +26 Million Tonnes CO2 eq. Total emissions in 2012
العمليات الصناعية
Jordan 28 million population of 6.5

6. Challenges Difficulty in obtaining Activity Data on energy sector
Difficulty in collecting information on mitigation measures of energy sector
No data management
Lack of institutional arrangements

To understand better what we are talking about, let’s quickly go back to the basics.

10. 3 KEY CONCEPTS HOW IT WORKS USERS SESSIONS GRIDS
Users are the operators within the platform: they are sector-related with different rights within each sector
A Session is a logical container that includes Data entry, Data validation, Data calculation for all grids in one specific year.
The GRID is the Working Unit within the platform: data entry,
data validation and basic calculations are done on a per-grid basis.

24. CONSIDERATIONS
MISCA is built so that stakeholders of each sector are the only ones who have access to the raw data management of their sector:
Data Ownership is enforced
Sensitivity and confidentiality of raw data is granted
collaboration among government, public and private institutions is stimulated

25. CONSIDERATIONS Data Quality is enforced - by means of role separation:
before being used for data calculation
- by always associating data to one or more references.
Data is entered
Data is verified
Data is released

26. CONSIDERATIONS Data Management is organized in a structured Work-flow:
notification by mail are sent before the start and after the end of each step.
Date and time of each step achievement is recorded

27. Challenges Digitization of equations and parameter
Tracking progress of mitigation measures
Avoiding duplications in calculations
Drawing the linkages and chronology between the different steps
Obtaining the green light from decisions makers and technical people

28. Recipe for success - Get experienced and motivated experts
A team leader
An inventory expert
A modeller
A senior sectoral expert (minister’s whisperer)
Lock everything in a clear legal framework
Involve and train the right people/data holder
