About CMAT

The Climate Monitoring & Accountability Tool (CMAT) is an AI-enabled platform by the National Assembly of Zambia (NAZ), developed with AGNES, to help Parliament and stakeholders track climate policy, budgets, and project implementation.

v1.0 • Public Beta

Background & Context

The National Assembly of Zambia (NAZ) Technical Team, in collaboration with the African Group of Negotiators Experts Support (AGNES), developed indicators for the CMAT in line with the NAZ Standing Orders (2024) and the National Planning and Budgeting Act No. 1 of 2020. Parliament provides oversight over the Ministry of Green Economy & Environment (MGEE) on mandate, strategy, management, operations, and budgets concerning climate action.
