(2) Regional distribution - Ways to streamline the process relating to CDM project activities in countries hosting fewer than 10 registered CDM project activities, especially in the least developed countries, small island developing States and Africa:

The Board, at its forty-sixth meeting, took note of a brief update from the secretariat on some ongoing activities in the regional distribution and in response to the request by the CMP (Decision 2/CMP.4 paragraph 41) to develop, in consultation with Designated National Authorities, ways to streamline the process relating to CDM project activities in countries hosting fewer than 10 registered CDM project activities, especially in the least developed countries, small island developing States and Africa, without compromising environmental integrity.

The Board agreed to launch a call for inputs for Designated National Authorities from 30 March to 4 May 2009 to provide inputs on how to address this CMP request for consideration by the Board at its forty-seventh meeting.

Note: This call for inputs is specific for Designated National Authorities.
