                         This project became effective in November 2009 following the Board approval in June 2008.

                         The PCU has made progress on the implementation of activities under components 1, 2 and 3. Under Component 1, the PCU has launched a pilot activity for carrying out 25 energy
                         efficiency audits in SMEs. Progress has also been made under Component 3 to support the Argentine Institute for Standardization and Certification (IRAM) in the development of new
