VI- Next stepsVI- Next steps

Enhance local capacities in particular in the areas of

validation and verification procedures , contract negotiations

Develop more CDM projects in promising sectors :

Renewable energy, wastewater units, landfills, Hydropower,

transport, energy efficiency , forestry..

Develop the involvement of civil society in CDM, in particular

active NGOs on the ground, so that we can benefit from this

mechanism of small scale projects with positive social and

environmental impact.
