The Workshop was aimed at discussing the results of the trial exercise and finalizing the key indicators, rating system, template, and timeframe for monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the RES&POA-2030.
During the discussion, the ASEAN Member States (AMSs) provided comments on the results of the trial exercise and recommendations on the revision of the key indicators, rating system, and template. At the end of the Workshop, the AMSs agreed on the timeline of the submission of the 2021 baseline information using the finalized template.
