CDM DNA Structure
The DNA for CDM in Egypt is composed of the following dual-structured unit:
The Egyptian Council for CDM (EC-CDM), Ministerial Decree no.42/2005, comprises 13 permanent members representing all relevant government departments, as well as private and associative sectors. At national level, the EC-CDM sets plans & policies and supervises the implementation of the whole CDM process in Egypt. It also suggests legislations and decisions to the government and official authorities. Internationally, the EC-CDM will be the official counterpart to the CDM Executive Board and will be the link agency with any potential international CDM stakeholder. A steering committee, emanating from the Council and consisting of five of its members, is delegated some expedited and intermediate responsibilities related to the process of implementation under the supervision of the EC-CDM. The EC-CDM meetings are held on a quarterly basis, but specific meetings can be convened, upon request from the Steering Committee, as required to react pro-actively to any relevant and urgent issue that might be crucial for the progress of the CDM activity in Egypt.
The Egyptian Bureau for CDM (EB-CDM), Ministerial Decree no. 45/2005, which acts as the Permanent Secretariat of the EC-CDM, will be operating at the CCU/EEAA within the Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs.
