e.g. A1.5 Dissemination and/or development of
other relevant tools (I)

• CORDELIM continuously has been working on
  collection, systematization and/or generation of
• Standard presentations/modules for e.g. for local
  CDM workshops, covering all basic aspects of CDM
  project development, international carbon market
  and climate change, and addressing some relevant
  specific issues/themes.
• Public domain electronic documentation on generic
  and specific issues related to the CDM, carbon
  market climate change (e.g. Guides for CDM
  Project Development)
• Extensive database of electronic documentation on
  CDM methodologies and on CDM project case studies
  (i.a. continuous selection of relevant frequently
  used documents published in UNFCCC CDM web site).

18
e.g. A1.5 Dissemination and/or development of
other relevant tools (II)

• For selected project categories country-specific
  assessment studies on sector baselines and other
  CDM methodological issues and/or public-domain
  tools for emission reductions calculation.
• Adjusted working tools, e.g. formats for project
  presentation guide on selection criteria of CDM
  service providers (PDD consultants/brokers/DOEs)
  directory of CER buyers.
• Promotion material for carbon market events such
  as Carbon Expo.
• Another promotion website www.andeancarbon.com
  serving as a hub to subregional CDM related web
  sites. It has been implemented in collaboration
  with other Andean CDM Offices (ODL Bolivia, GMCC
  Colombia, FONAM Peru).

Lessons learned

• Soporte político a la gestión de actividades
  enmarcadas en la cooperación, involucramiento de
  actores públicos relevantes facilita el
  establecimiento de las redes de trabajo
• Inestabilidad política durante los tres años de
  gestión cinco ministros
• Información y difusión básica deben ir
  acompañadas por labores de capacitación
  especializada - facilitar interacción de los
  participantes del mercado (ferias, matchmaking)
• Aunque la organización de eventos de capacitación
  demanda una importante cantidad de tiempo, no
  obstante es una herramienta clave para el
  desarrollo de la capacidad constante
  actualización del material de promoción.
• Cooperación programática cooperación
  actividades puntuales
• Importante generar credibilidad ante los
  diferentes actores (!)

37
Next steps

• Actividades de promoción e incubación de
  proyectos se desarrollan con un enfoque
  sectorial/transversal e.g. participación en PPP
  (i) M2M, (ii) GGFR y (iii) REEEP
• Gestión de nueva cooperación técnica ha sido
  iniciada, propuestas presentadas/en negociación
  (i) CFA/WB (ii) PLAC/CAF
