Sustainable development guiding tools for DNAs

At its ninth session, the CMP requested the CDM Executive Board to develop guiding tools for Designated National Authorities (DNAs) who wish to receive assistance in monitoring the sustainable development benefits of CDM projects and programmes of activities (PoAs) registered in their territory.

 In recognizing that the use of such guiding tools is the prerogative of Parties, the CDM Executive Board offers such assistance upon the request of host Parties and on a voluntary basis.

 This CMP mandate aims at assisting host Parties to monitor the sustainable development benefits of CDM project activities and programmes of activities (PoAs) in their territory, thereby improving the reputation of the CDM and enhancing the transparency of the sustainable development aspect of the mechanism.

DNAs who wish to benefit from the assistance available can submit a request to the DNA help desk by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
