To achieve this aim, the RCC has the following core activities:
a)To provide direct support to the development of CDM Project Activities and Programme of Activities (POAs), both potential projects and those that are undergoing processing at different stages of the CDM project cycle; and
b)To identify opportunities for the development of standardized baselines and provide direct support to relevant institutions in the submission of proposals, including projects that could benefit from such standardized baselines
