The German development organization Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has officially handed-over, to the Serbian Ministry of Mining and Energy, the Monitoring and Verification Platform (MVP) aimed at the improvement of data collection and monitoring, including coordination of activities and monitoring of progress in the field of energy efficiency. The online based MVP system was developed within the GIZ Open Regional Fund for South-East Europe – Energy Efficiency (ORF-EE) project.

The MVP application was designed for South-East European countries as a platform for data collection on energy efficiency projects and achieved energy savings and the platform enables data sharing between several responsible actors, thus avoiding overburdening of one person or one institution. The municipalities therefore collect data for the area of their responsibility and upper administrative levels fill in the gaps. The platform also provides space for data storing in one specifically assigned place and renders it easily available for all relevant actors. MVP aims at improving coordination between relevant national actors in the energy efficiency sector.
