Summary of the
ICS-CDM/JI Programme
Integrated Capacity Strengthening for CDM/JI (ICS-CDM/JI)
3 year programme under Ministry of the Environment, Japan
Systemic, institutional and human capacity building Targeting countries with different size and level of c
apacity FY2003: Cambodia, India, Indonesia, the Philippines FY2004: ++Thailand FY2005: ++China, Russia
Started with the “standardized”“standardized” programme applied to all countries, which was later developed into more “country-specific”“country-specific” programmes

Information and awareness raising on CDM/JI (1)
CDM and JI in CHARTS provides a comprehensive and
easy-to-understand description
of the CDM and other Kyoto Mechanisms

Information and awareness raising on CDM/JI (2)
CDM Country Guides (Cambodia, China*, India, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand*)
Providing essential information to develop CDM projects in each country, such as the information on potential CDM project types, project approval procedures, legal issues, fiscal and financing issues and government incentives.
(Electric version soon available)
* Guides for China and Thailand are under development now.
Supporting institutional framework
ICS-CDM/JI Programme supports the development and further smoothening of the operation of the
Designated National Authority (DNA) and other CDM-related government institutions in the host countries.
Cambodia DNA seminars on the national project approval process
Thailand CDM seminars for government officials
The Philippines Training-Workshop on the CDM (for DNA Steering Committee, Technical Evaluation Committees, Secretariat)
Training human resources
Development of the capacity of human resources is one of the crucial aspects for the actual implementation of CDM projects. Various stakeholders need to be equipped with the know-how on CDM to facilitate the CDM project development.

Support for project development
The ICS-CDM/JI Programme supports CDM project identification,
development and implementation activities in the countries
though the Japan Kyoto Mechanism Acceleration Programme (J-KAP).
Different types of support mechanism: Financial assistance for feasibility studies (GEC, NEDO); Underlying finance (JBIC); Upfront payment (MOE and NEDO) Carbon finance (JCF)
For more information: http://www.kyomecha.org/jkap/jkap.html
GEC: Global Environment Centre Foundation; NEDO: New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization; JBIC: Japan Bank for International Cooperation; MOE: Ministry of the Environment; JCF: Japan Carbon Finance, Ltd.
Lessons learned from
the ICS-CDM/JI Programme
Lessons learned: positive feedbacks
Starting from the broader approach (standardized programme) to the narrower approach (country-specific programmes) was quite effective
“Integrated approach” allowed to reduce the gaps between CDM-advanced and just-started countries
Still wide perspective for the concerns and the great needs for the CB in the region, but the next target for the CB is much clearer and more narrowed down (moving up the steps together) in the region.
Partnership with local NGOs to coordinate the CB activities itself contributed to their capacity building.
CB as a bridge to smoothen the CDM process between Annex-I and Non-Annex I countries.
Lessons learned: negative feedbacks
Difficult to have solid outputs from the CB for evaluation
Targets too broad The “integrated approach” was necessary, but it wa
s difficult to make the best judgment on when to move in from the broad to narrow approach and how to balance the three components of the programme
Communication with other donors was well established, but making a next move to avoid the redundancy in the CB activities was difficult
What’s left for
the CDM capacity building (CB)
CB: Remaining issues
DNA and approving procedures have been established, but still lacking the actual experience in approving the projects
Baseline issues Regional governments Web sites as new tools for the capacity building? CDM registry
GovernmentGovernment
How to keep up with the constantly updated rules on the CDM CB target: Gaps between forerunners and late comers Data accuracy and collection issues
Project developersProject developers
CB: Remaining issues (cont’d)
Consultants: how to skill up? Competence? Banking sector: standardization of loaning process for the
CDM projects and internalization of the CDM-related profits when considering the financial viability of the projects
DOEs: Yes, we need a special training programme to have Non-Annex I DOEs, but who shares the information to develop the effective programme?

What’s next for
the ICS-CDM/JI?
Current status
Currently under the negotiation with Ministry of the Environment, Japan.
Various factors affecting the designing of the programme
Possible course for the next ICS-CDM/JI programme
Option 1: Continuation of the current structure (balanced assistance to both governments
and private sector) Option 2: Narrowed-down approach Option 3: More regionally-focused approach
(wider perspective) Option 4: Hybrid of Option 1 and 2 with specific focus
on certain topics/stakeholders
Great possibility of having the stronger emphasis on the outputs
A decisive factor for shaping the next ICS-CDM/JI
Possibility of having a carbon credit procurement programme as of FY2006 (April 2006) Proposed budget (both MOE-J & METI together): 8.8 Billion JPY Linking CB with the procurement programme as a possibility
Japanese Government’s proposal for the credit procurement programme (requiring a Diet approval)
