Determining Country Inputs provides a deep dive on Step Zero of the process, before going into the project-level assessment. This step aims to provide a country-wide view on the alignment of various project types with its strategic objectives, which will be used in the Project Profile Template in Appendix A.
Through the establishment of an Emission Reduction Program (ERP), the World Bank aims to help developing countries to engage strategically with evolving global ERC markets, support efforts to generate ERCs to sell into these global markets, and mobilize finance for such transactions.
The ERP includes two main workstreams. Workstream One is focused on ERC market development, by providing governments with access to knowledge and technical assistance. Workstream Two is targeted at supporting ERC generation in participating countries.
