2.  C-Neutrality (vision) should become a conductive strategy (action): Roadmap for the different sectors  Several development and CC initiatives are converging with LEDS, but with a dispersion of public and private efforts  LEDS approach can catalyze, enhance and create synergy in public and private investment, financing and international cooperation

3.  The country has not a low emission development pattern in key sectors

11.  Strong leadership: government priority with national entities and stakeholders commitment to action: ◦ Local champions and a strong team ◦ Stakeholder engagement (planning, analysis, requirements, ownership and consensus) ◦ Capacity building ◦ Sharing of approaches and experiences  Study to identifying base lines or reference scenario, future evolution and mitigation options and associated cost for low carbon emission scenario (bottom-up approach)  Flexible (learning-by-doing) framework in adapting to a variety of sectoral conditions (coordination, regulatory capacity, resource availability, level of political support, private sector investment)

12.  Effective integration of programs from national institutions, private sector, NGOs and international agencies  Integration of CC initiatives : ◦ National Economic, Environment and Development Study (NEEDS) ◦ Market Readiness (PMR) ◦ Technology Needs Assessments (TNA) ◦ Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) ◦ Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) ◦ National Adaptation Plans of Actions (NAPAs) ◦ Bilateral programs

13.  Development of low-emissions strategies with concrete economic and social benefits ◦ Effective plans with policy framework to establish an enabling environment ◦ Capacity building programs ◦ Strategy for technology transference ◦ Conducting a barrier analysis and removal strategy ◦ Providing the necessary cohesive institutional arrangements ◦ Setting concrete results (metrics and MRV scheme) ◦ Assess financing needs and design financial architecture ◦ Continual monitoring ◦ Feedback and refinement
