2. UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment CD for CDM - Phase 1 - First National Workshop, Egypt 17-18 December 2002 2 AIM OF THE WORK  Develop technical background materialS that can support different steps in the CDM project cycle  to be used by national teams and international audience.

3. UNEP Collaborating Centre on Energy and Environment CD for CDM - Phase 1 - First National Workshop, Egypt 17-18 December 2002 3 Review internationally available guidance material. Develop technical background material that can support different steps in the CDM project cycle to be used by national teams and international audience. Assess different methodological approaches in relation to national CDM project cases and develop good practice guidance for project assessment. The approaches applied and developed in this project should facilitate: Transparency and simplicity. Efficiency in facilitating fast project development with low transaction costs. Efficiency in reducing GHG emissions and assissting sustainable development goals. Replicability – implying that project developers and host countries can use the approach in a similar way. Enhancement of national capacity to participate in CDM markets and other CC activities..
