The Capacity Assessment Tool for Climate Action Transparency (CAT4CAT) has been designed as a structured tool that can be used to recognize and assess the capacity building needs of relevant stakeholders for undertaking in-country MRV of climate change adaptation. The tool can be applied to stakeholders at the national, subnational and programmatic levels.

The key objectives of this tool are to:
• Understand current institutional capacity for undertaking MRV of climate actions
• Determine existing gaps in organizational capacity
• Identify possible strategies and interventions to strengthen relevant capacity

The tool aims to provide an insight into an organization’s existing capacity and help establish a standardized baseline against which to assess their performance. Employing this tool will help recognize capacity limitations across different areas. Subsequently, results from the assessment will help identify and guide the steps that can be taken by an organization to contribute towards setting up MRV systems for adaptation at the national level. The exercise can be repeated again after a period of time to monitor any development in capacity following recommended interventions.
