The NDC Transport Initiative for Asia (NDC TIA) is a joint project of seven organisations, operating in China, India, and Vietnam and at the regional level. It aims at promoting a comprehensive approach on decarbonising transport, i.e., a coherent strategy of effective policies that are coordinated among various sector ministries, civil society, and the private sector. In each partner country, the consortium supports countries in facilitating and informing these stakeholder processes and developing selected climate actions. This enables partners to make a sectoral contribution towards achieving their NDCs and increase ambition in transport sections of long-term strategies and 2025 NDCs – countries climate commitments at international level. As a regional initiative, the programme disseminates knowledge as well as experiences from China, India, and Vietnam in Asia. The consortium connects with regional stakeholders and other Asian countries in order to encourage taking a comprehensive approach to decarbonising transport.

The objective of this tender is to develop, deploy and maintain a digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system for the transport sector in Vietnam, as part of the NDC Transport Initiative for Asia. The MRV system aims to enhance the transparency of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transport sector and enable easy, regular data collection and reporting by enterprises, agencies, and units in the transport sector and provincial departments of transport.
