New PoA Standards
Standard for demonstration of additionality, development of eligibility criteria and application of multiple methodologies for Programme of Activities- Approved EB 65
Also relevant: Standard for sampling and surveys for CDM project activities and programmes of activities- Approved EB 65

Key challenges of PoA standards - timing
Deadline of 25 July for uploading for registration- 226 PoAs in validation* - 15 PoAs submitted in February- Average time for start of comment period to requesting
registration: 255 days, approximately 8.5 months- Average time from requesting registration until registration: 100
days (approximately 3.3 months)- = Already a tight schedule for being registered by 2012
- High number of PoAs in non- LDCs: 32 PoAs in China, 27 in South Africa, 22 in India, 12 in Indonesia, 10 in Kenya
Compliance with the standards adds further complications/ possible delays to validation
* March 2012 CDM Pipeline, UNEP Risoe

Key challenges of PoA standards - Implementation
Co-ordinating & Managing Entity (CME) Manual- Useful document for thinking long term- But adds significant complications during validation
- 20 – 40 page document- Adds a substantial amount of extra work (and therefore
adds to the cost) during validation which adds to the 2012 time pressure
- Currently no precedence for a CME manual- A standardized optional template would be useful for facilitating
writing and validation

Sampling and survey standards
Single sampling plan covering a group of Component Project Activities (CPAs) now allowed - For micro or small scale PoAs applying a 95/10
confidence/precision- When there is either homogeneity of included CPAs or the
differences among the included CPAs is taken into account in the sample size calculation
- Highly relevant for i.e. energy efficient lighting and cookstove PoAs
Reduces transaction costs by not needing to sample each and every CPA
Very positive step: remains to be seen how DOEs apply the standards during validation
