15 e.g.: A1.4 Development and management of web-based resource centre Management and continuous improvement of CORDELIM´s online resource centre is a priority activity. It is internally perceived as the main tool for supporting promotion activities.

16

17 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).www.andeancarbon.com

35 4. Lessons learned & the way forward

36 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
