China 80 persons) • Local network members ensure that right participants are selected and that there is follow up.

Financing CATNet-Asia • Funding for course development can be funded from CAI-Asia CATNet Resources. • Training of master trainers and local training will have to be met from additional local resources. • Important to connect with existing training organizations which have a budget already • CAI-Asia has worked with Tsinghua University and CRAES on the development of AQM training proposal for China

  6. Applied Capacity Building • Training should be used by trainees • CAI-Asia China Project will try to link training activities to other activities such as policy formulation and implementation of pilot activities • SUMA project is example of applied capacity building – this is also approach followed by other organizations and projects.

  7. Specialized Training • In addition to general AQM training CAI-Asia China Project can also plan and deliver specialized training. E.g. Emission inventories or cobenefits of AQM and Climate Change Mitigation. • In most cases this will in cooperation with international members of CAI-Asia e.g. US-EPA • CAI-Asia can also facilitate the participation of China Project members in international training workshops outside China, e.g. Emission Inventory workshop in Bangkok.
