| My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and later on success | Me on Facebook | Follow @umihanik_ME on Twitter| Me on Linkedin | Keep in touch with me? Read my daily notes^ | My short professional bio:
Umi Hanik is professional in development evaluation who has been working for many bilateral/multilateral organisations in Indonesia for the past 17 years. She holds BA and master of economics in public policy and pursuing advanced master/predoctoral studies in development evaluation. She works as M&E specialist for Asian Development Bank (ADB) program with Mercy Corps International on a national strategy to promote agritech 4.0 informations extension for smallholder farmers to cope with extreme climate in Indonesia from Oct 2018-Jan 2020. Currently she also serves as evaluation consultant for KSI-DFAT, GIZ-PAKLIM, DREAM-JICA, SSC-JICA until April 2020.
Among her outstanding works, she has contributed to the national development planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation reforms in Indonesia. Her current research interest is in the politics of evaluation and the politics of social interventions for the poor.
And along with her professional career, she has contributed to the evaluation society by motivating, supporting, and mentoring young and emerging evaluators in Indonesia. She has also very active in the effort of establishing the national/regional evaluation association. She is the founding members of Indonesian Development Evaluation Community (InDEC)*, Board Directors of Asia Pacific Evaluation Association (APEA)**, and Management members of EvalGender+***.
Being adaptive with 4.0 industrial revolution call and during her evalreflection, in April 2018 she starting to develop MONEVStudio, a startup to promote sustainable development and evaluation literacy and inclusiveness.
P.s. MONEV is a popular acronym in Indonesia for MONitoring and Evaluation.

Monday, October 22, 2012“Development of a Measureable, Reportable, and Verifiable (MRV) System for Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in Indonesia”[1]
Umi Hanik, SE,
ME[2]
1.
Background
In
2009, the President of the Republic of Indonesia at the G-20 meeting in Pittsburgh
and at COP15 in Copenhagen committed to achieve target of 26% reduction in
carbon emissions from Business As Usual (BAU) by 2020. Further emissions
reductions of 41% are expected with international support. With regard to the
effort, presently Indonesia is preparing to take measures in the actions of
limiting the emissions growth and in relation with sustainable development.
In 2010,
at COP-16 in Mexico, the Parties further decided that “internationally supported mitigation actions will be measured, reported
and verified (MRV) domestically and will be subject to international
measurement, reporting and verification” while “domestically supported mitigation actions will be measured, reported
and verified domestically”, in both cases, “in accordance with guidelines to be developed under the Convention”[3].
As part of
the COP-16 decisions, developing countries also agreed to enhance reporting in
national communications, including inventories, on mitigation actions and their
effects, and support received. Developing countries will have to submit a
national communication every four years and update reports of national GHG
inventories every two years.
MRV is a concept to quantify mitigation actions, and the balance
between commitments and qualitative actions. It stands for Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) and is firstly
introduced in 2007 by the “Bali Action Plan” – BAP (decision 1/CP.13) under the
UNFCCC and Copenhagen Accord in 2009.
The BAP foresees MRV of nationally appropriate mitigation commitments or
actions for developed countries.
Thus, to
gain international recognition for mitigation actions, the country needs to
establish a Measurement,
Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system which enables the need to measure, report, and
verify the reduced emissions. Nevertheless, the MRV system is not only applied
to emission reductions, but goes beyond it, as it will measure and monitor all
enabling condition components (technology, finance, and capacity building)
relevant to emission reduction measures[4].
By being
“measurable, reportable and verifiable”, the GHG inventories, the low carbon
development plans and the mitigation actions undertaken by the country are open
and transparent to other actors, entities and decision makers, including those
who were not part of the estimation, review, documentation, implementation and
report process.
A third
party, either from Indonesia or abroad, should be able to replicate the
calculations, identify the data and assumptions used, understand the means by which
a result is obtained or monitored (in the case of mitigation actions) and
ultimately be able to verify what the country emits and what it does towards
reducing its GHG emissions, and all through clear reports prepared by the
country.
