CDM's or variations of these, and outline the implications of each for Vanuatu.
(ii) to assist Vanuatu to identify potential activities and projects that

through identification of capacity building needs and CDM projects.

weeks depending on costs)
2. Forestry expert with previous experience in CDM or Carbon Credit issues

to involve or engage short-term consultants to advise on other specialist
areas such as:
5. Legal advice or draftsperson to evaluate legislation and other legal
issues (up to 1-2 weeks if required)
6. Economist to evaluate economic implications of options developed and
advise on allocation of benefits including Government of Vanuatu,
landowners, and project developers. (up to 1 week if required)

The Vanuatu Government is keen for this consultancy to be conducted as soon
as possible and preferably before end November although a longer time frame
may be considered if consultants are suitable but unavailable.
