MDCP is aimed at strengthening the dialogue between local and regional authorities, national and international beneficiaries to create a favourable environment in the communities for sustainable energy development and successful implementation of climate change mitigation measures.
As of today, the platform unites 124 members (including Ukrainian CoM Signatories, National and Territorial Coordinators and Supporters) and their number keeps growing. Nine meetings of MDCP, attended by more than 140 people in total, have been already held under the moderation of the CoM East Country Expert in Ukraine Oksana Kysil.
At this stage, the main MDCP focus is the involvement of CoM stakeholders in the dialogue concerning the Ukrainian National Roadmap for removing the barriers and fostering the drivers of SEAP/SECAP implementation as well as transferring the best EU experience. A draft concept note, structure and content of the National Roadmap was presented and further discussed by the MDCP members. Also, Ukrainian MDCP established good contacts with a number of financial institutions, including UNDP, GIZ, DESPRO, USAID, NEFCO, KfW, WB, IFC, EBRD, EIB, Ukrgazbank, Oschadbank etc.
