Specifically, the results to be achieved are:
1) Establishment of a MRV framework.
2) Climate change knowledge is disseminated and increased.
3) Waste sectoral baseline and related sectoral emission profile are settled at Federal level and at State level. (e.g. Kano State and Ogun State). Waste management procedures as per international best practices are shared, known and used.
