Lessons Learnt Unfinished agenda: • Need to strengthen the capacity of consultants who specialize in CDM • Increase access to subsidies for cost of the development of PDD, validation and registration • Need to target capacity building of private companies & industry associations which have strong potential in terms of CDM • Need to target awareness-raising and capacity building of local financial institutions regarding underlying project financing and carbon revenue

  20. 5. Lessons Learnt • Unfinished agenda: • Need to develop a strategy on how to raise underlying finance • Local equity investment • Foreign equity investment • Local debt investment • Foreign debt financing • Need to design system for easier access to data required by PDD • Baseline emission factor • Summaries on policies and regulations for specific sectors (RE, solid waste management, forestry, etc)
