The main objective of
the self-assessment exercise was to undertake a highly
consultative and participatory process of needs assessment
to identify and validate the critical priorities for
UNFCCC implementation in Albania in general, and was
considered as the first but critical step
in preparing the
Second National Communication project proposal.
This exercise has provided an assessment of gaps, uncertainties, barriers and lessons learnt during previous and ongoing activities. This approach helps to ensuring that the SNC will be build upon previous activities, studies, experiences, and institutional settings.
A synthesis
report
is produced as the main output by serving of dual
purpose: It is being used as a baseline document
for the SNC proposal, as well as an input to
identify and validate priorities
for further in-depth studies and new areas
of work to be carried out in the course of the SNC.
