• The First phase regards replacement of 763 taxies expected to reduce 25,686 tCO2e/10years.

DNAis not a PoA Partner (i.e., it hasn’t signed the Protocol for PoA implementation), but it plays a critical role in the SSC-CPAs by:

• Reviewing and approving Environmental Impact Assessments, per Egyptian law, for each Processing and Storage Site and Recycling Facility Site.

• Approving environmental monitoring plans submitted by PoA Participants.

• Performing random spot-checks / audits of on-going operations of these facilities and enforcing monitoring plans presented in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
