Requirements for validation

The DOE is required to review and validate all project documents against the general validation requirements for CDM project activities, as well as the specific validation criteria for Programmes of Activities (PoAs).

The specific validation requirements for PoAs are as follows:

In addition to the validation requirements arising out of the modalities and procedures for a clean development mechanism, the validation by the DOE shall address the following issues:

1. Additionality of the PoA;
2. Eligibility criteria for inclusion of a proposed CPA in the registered PoA, including criteria to be used for demonstration of additionality of a CPA;
3. Operational and management arrangements established by the coordinating/managing entity for the implementation of the PoA inter alia the issues identified in paragraph 2 (i) above;
4. Consistency between CDM-POA-DD and the PoA specific CDM-CPA-DD to be used for inclusion of a CPA in the registered PoA (EB 32, Annex 39, paragraph 7).
