PoA EXPERIENCE • Validation of 17 Poas • 2 registered: waste compost programme (Uganda); Turbococinas (El Salvador) • 1 PoArequestingregistration (energyefficientlighting, Senegal) • 14 validationongoing • Sectoralscopes: 1; 3; 13; 15.
MAIN ISSUES ON PoA VALIDATION • Eligibilitycriterianotenoughclearordetailed • Demonstration of additionalityisbasedonopinions, non onsubstantiatedfacts • CPA starting date is not in accordance with requirements • Additionality and eligibility • Someeligibilitycriteria are notverifiable

(EB 55 annex 38) (sampling vs. surveys) • Guidelines on the assessment of investment analysis is not properly and completely explained. • Emission Factor: PoA-DD does not specify if the EF is fixed ex ante or each CPA will use its own Emission Factor.
NEW PoA STANDARD EB 65 • Eligibilitycriteria: “Validating DOE and/or the Board may specify additional criteria depending on the specific characteristics of a PoA”. • The CME shall develop and implement a management system • The revision of eligibility criteria of a registered PoA may be initiated by the Board at any time during the lifetime of the PoA if an issue related to environment integrity is identified. • Application of multiple CDM methodologies (…) Combinations of technologies/measures and methodologies vary across CPAs of a PoA.
