Description: The design, the implementation and the monitoring of national energy policies require relevant indicators reflecting the energy use performances at macro and sector level. Moreover, for developing countries the implementation of information systems on energy and greenhouse gas emissions indicators will be a key condition for the development of new mitigation financing mechanisms (NAMAs, sectoral mechanism, etc.) currently under negotiations for the new international climate governance regime. In fact these mechanisms will need Measures, Reporting and Verification systems (MRV) to prove the integrity of these actions. Also, for the Arab League States Energy Efficiency Directive, such indicators are crucial for the monitoring and the assessment of the National Energy Efficiency Action Plans (NEEAPs).
