Botlenecks in CDM project development Lack of fund for development. We need big fund for normal project component development, for FS, for administration, now we need additional fund for CDM ( transaction cost). It is difficult to resource the fund, because the normal component should be not attractive and low understanding of CDM. So most CDM project development relay on outside aid. Contradiction of requirements. ( chicken and egg dilemma!) CDM additionality requires to show the project is non- feasible, while developers or buyers want to be convinced in project feasibility. They ask for so much documents for project clearance. 9/17/2018 Regional CD4CDM-Thailand

Botlenecks in CDM project development Methodology. There are only few consolidated methodologies for large scale projects, which are attractive to investors. 4. Lack of skilled domestic experts able to develop CDM project documents themselves and to opponent the project documents. 5. Short time left before 2008 and poor vision of post Kyoto protocol period. 9/17/2018 Regional CD4CDM-Thailand

Regional CD4CDM-Thailand CD4CDM contribution Improving understanding, awareness of stakeholders. At least 4-5 workshops/trainings were held every year in big cities and provinces. Wide CDM project identification team. Technical experts training and technical base. + Series of workshops/training in Vietnam and outside of Vietnam on CDM project development skill ( how to write the PINs, PDDs, Additionality tools, Analysis of PDD etc.) + Series of small readable books in most aspects of CDM development has served as good material for training and references. + Some funds were located for research activities, like for baseline studies (grid, energy, forestry), for GHG reduction potential in different sectors can form a good technical base for project development. 9/17/2018 Regional CD4CDM-Thailand

Regional CD4CDM-Thailand CD4CDM contribution 3. DNA strengthening. CD4CDM helped greatly in DNA capacity building (including the DNA role recognition). The rule, procedure and the knowledge of CDM National Advisory Board improvement makes the approval process smoother. 4. Access to the international market. CD4CDM has supported many activities in CDM market facilitation such as Carbonexpo participation, investor forum etc. These remarkably help the country members to introduce their CDM potential, to establish contacts and cooperation among CDM international community and carbon buyers and developers. One can notice that these activities are very specific of CD4CDM and very useful. 9/17/2018 Regional CD4CDM-Thailand
