CDM Project Approval Procedures

The main line of activities to be covered by the DNA Secretariat is described in the below flow chart.

1. Document 1 is the request for issuance of a LOA (or LON) from the DNA by the Project Proponent. The request is to be sent from the Project Proponent to the DNA Secretariat (Climate Change Division, MECDM) according to the DNA requirements using the format and including the required attachment.
2. Document 2. The DNA Secretariat sends a notice of meeting with attachments including the request for a LOA/LON, to all members of the National CDM Committee, including a proposal for a recommendation by the National CDM Committee for issuing or not of the LOA/LON.
3. The National CDM Committee meeting is held and the decision for a recommendation is logged in the Protocol of the National CDM Committee and brought in to the DNA Secretariat (Climate Change Division, MECDM) for drafting of minutes of meeting to be posted to all National CDM Committee members for signing before issuing a response to the request for LOA/LON.
4. In accordance with DNA Secretariat (Climate Change Division, MECDM) administrative procedures, the DNA may during or after the National CDM Committee meeting sign the LOA/LON or refusal to issue such document in accordance with the binding recommendation stated by the National CDM Committee.
