TRAINING OF LOCAL 'GOLD
STANDARD' EXPERTS
OBJECTIVE AND ACTIVITIES
The project was set up to develop the carbon market,
especially to improve the quality and sustainability of Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM). To this end, the project
established a global network of regional Gold Standard
managers who supported project developers on the ground
through local stakeholder consultations, on-site audits and
project visits. Project developers as well as Designated
National Authorities (DNAs), non-governmental
organisations, technical cooperation organisations,
Designated Operational Entities (DOEs) and retailers were
trained with the aim to establish The Gold Standard as a
benchmark for CDM projects.
