 From 14 to 16 October 2026, a hybrid technical workshop was convened in Ashgabat, focusing on the operationalization and deployment of the Digital Climate Finance Tracking Tool (DCFTT). The event was organized within the framework of the joint project between the Ministry of Environmental Protection of Turkmenistan and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) entitled Readiness project “Improving the capacity of Turkmenistan to access climate finance through capacity building and strategic frameworks”," which is funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF).

The primary objective of the three-day capacity development delivery was to equip key national stakeholders with practical competencies to operationalize the DCFTT platform. This digital intervention is designed to institutionalize the systematization, validation, and visualization of climate finance data flows.

 During the technical sessions, participants acquired hands-on expertise in tracking climate-related financial flows, applying standard climate finance tagging methodologies, and generating data-driven analytical reporting. These outputs directly support national climate action planning, enhance institutional transparency, and facilitate compliance with reporting obligations under the Paris Agreement and Turkmenistan's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

The opening high-level session, hosted in the conference hall of the Archabil Hotel, mobilized international senior experts and representatives from key national line ministries. During the theoretical module, Firuz Saidov, International Expert on Climate Finance Tracking, and Alisher Biloli, International Consultant, presented the baseline architecture of the DCFTT, its alignment metrics with international Rio Markers, and the methodology for tracking expenditures across climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions.

 The practical segment of the workshop continued from 15 to 16 October via targeted sessions conducted directly within the respective line ministries. On-site, FAO technical specialists provided specialized hands-on training for the national staff designated for data entry and quality control verification.

The institutionalization of the DCFTT framework establishes a systematic mechanism for tracking climate finance portfolios, enabling evidence-based decision-making through structured information architectures and rigorous financial analysis of Turkmenistan's strategic climate priorities.
