CDM Application

Project developers are required to submit the Project Idea Note (PIN) as the preliminary screening document to the Designated National Authorities (DNA), which is the Conservation and Environmental Management Division (CEMD) of Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE), which carries out the initial screening. For forestry projects, the PIN will be forwarded to Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) for technical evaluation of the project. The CDM Forestry Secretariat FRIM may liaise with the project developer for more details and/or clarification. It will then carry out the technical evaluation with assistance of a Task Force, if necessary. The Technical Committee will review the technical evaluation and recommendations of the CDM Forestry Secretariat and forward its finding and recommendations to the National Committee on CDM (NCCDM).

The NCCDM bases its decision on the recommendations and opinion of the Technical Committee. If the NCCDM finds that the proposed project complies with all the national requirements, a conditional letter of approval will be issued by the DNA. This authorities are the project partners to take part in a CDM project. Figure below shows the various stages an application for CDM project would have to go through.
