How to get the process started ? • Identify a motivated institution • Hold a series of workshops with all relevant stakeholders • Governmental authorities • industry and financial sector representatives • NGOs, academic institutions, etc • Ensure a common understanding of the CDM and the role of the DNA
What is a good institutional set-up? • Divide the tasks (except small countries): • Operational unit (secretariat): • Inter-ministerial DNA committee • Watch committee’s size ! : Max. 10 members • Ensure members’ ranking for technical understanding, but also for the decision-making power
Design of project approval procedures Common procedure adopted in many countries: • Submission of a PDD and country-specific documents • Evaluation by the operational unit against the sustainability criteria • Recommendation to the committee, who takes the final decision • Allow for • voluntary submission of a Project Idea Note (PIN) • oral presentations by project proponent • appeals against the DNA‘s decision • validation by the DOE to be carried out in parallel
Definition of sustainability criteria Start from an already accepted definition of sustainability • Environmental criteria • Economic criteria • Social criteria • Define indicators for all criteria to enable an objective assessment • Test the criteria
CDM Promotion • Identify promising sectors and focus capacity development activities • Raise the awareness of the CDM • Explain the rules of the CDM and where information can be found • Explain the CDM market and the financial benefits from the CDM • Show that ‘CDM is real and works‘
CDM Promotion (2) • Publish submitted PDDs as examples • Assist project proponents in practical PDD development • Train in-country consulting firms or advisors in CDM project development • Provide baseline data for promising sectors
