 Designated National
Authority (DNA)
At a
national level, each country involved in the CDM
has a
Designated National Authority (DNA) responsible for granting
approval to local projects which have fulfilled national criteria
for sustainable development and with a good chance of succeeding at
eventual registration, as well as acting as a focal point for
CDM activities. The UNFCCC maintains
a list of DNAs and contact persons, and most DNAs will have
dedicated websites and online resources. It is a
requirement for parties who have ratified the Kyoto Protocol to
specify a DNA – Buyers will require approval from the DNA of the
industrialized country where they have commercial operations in,
while Sellers will require approval from host country DNAs.
Designated Operating Entities (DOE)
What is a Designated Operational Entity
(DOE)?
Is there a list of Designated
Operational Entities?
-
See the
left hand menu for the list of accredited and provisionally
designated operational entities.
-
The
Board is in the process of considering 30 applications (see Call
for input on the left for a list). The 30 applications are
regionally distributed as follows
What can an applicant entity (AE)
do?
-
In
accordance with the procedure for accreditation, an AE has to
carry out activities witnessed by the CDM-AT related to its two
functions referred to above. Validation and/or verification and
certification activities, witnessed during the accreditation
procedure, are considered valid if the applicant entity is
successfully accredited by the EB.
-
The
Board agreed that an applicant entity, for which a CDM-AT has
been confirmed, may
submit proposed new methodologies. For the list of AEs see
links to the left of this screen.
Application for accreditation
-
Any legal entity (either a domestic legal entity or an
international organization) may apply for
accreditation/designation as a Designated Operational Entity. In
accordance with its
 Procedure
for accrediting operational entities by the Executive Board of
the CDM (345 KB)
agreed by the Board, the CDM accreditation panel (CDM-AP)
carries out the assessment work with the support of CDM
assessment teams (CDM-AT) prepares a recommendation to the Board
regarding the accrediation of an AE. For more detail see links
to the left of this screen.
-
In
accordance with the procedure, Parties, NGOs accredited with
UNFCCC or stakeholders shall have 15 days to provide any
comments or information on the AE to the secretariat. The list
of open call for inputs as well as the result of previous calls
can be be found by following the link on the left.

List of AEs
The CDM
Accreditation Panel (CDM-AP), in accordance with the
CDM
accreditation procedures, shall issue an indicative letter
(F-CDM-IL) to the entities after their successful completion of the
desk review and the on-site assessment.
The table
below provides the list of entities that have been issued the
indicative letter:

Methodologies linked to Sectoral Scopes
The CDM-AP adopted this list of sectoral scopes, which
is based on the list of sectors and sources contained in
Annex A of the Kyoto Protocol. A sectoral scope (s) of
accreditation sets the limits for work which a DOE may
perform under the CDM with regard to validation as well
as verification and certification related to identified
sector (s) and determines the requirements it shall meet
in addition to those determined in Appendix A to the CDM
M&P. This list may be further modified in accordance
with the procedural guidelines.
The link between a methodology and a sectoral scope is
purely for the purpose of conducting witnessing
opportunities whose purpose is to confirm conclusions of
the on-site assessment regarding the operational skills
of an applicable entity with regard to the scope. It
shall be noted that in accordance with guidance by the
Executive Board, one witnessing activity (witnessing an
AE perform functions a proposed project applying a
methodology linked to a sectoral scope) may serve to
confirm conclusions for the sectoral scope (s) grouped in
the work plan for the purpose of witnessing. The AE once
accredited is authorized to function as DOE in the
sectoral scope (s) for which the EB agreed to designate.
The table below provides the list of sectoral scopes and
approved baseline and monitoring methodologies linked
with these sectoral scopes.
