> Loose definition of NAMAs in the negotiating texts
– Will unlikely be specified further
– Defined by experience and practice
> Different NAMA types
– Unilateral vs. supported
– Broad NAMA focus: policies, programs, strategies, projects
– Some even communicate targets as NAMAs
> Currently anything that reduces emissions and is nationally appropriate can
be considered a NAMA

> Lack in practical experience as well as articulation of donor and country
preferences still keeps NAMA concept rather vague
Issues
> Balancing standardization and flexibility
– Pro flexibility: allow for country specific approaches
– Pro standardization: Lack of minimum standards adds uncertainty and
inefficiency
> Continued support for capacity buildings in host countries required
> Transparency on NAMA approach and assumptions by host countries
> Clearer articulation of requirements by donors
– Positive example: NAMA facility with clear requirements
– Donor: clarify requirements and expectations of NAMA proposals
– Guidance currently consultant driven
– Especially expectation on MRV would be helpful

> Finance so far focused on readiness not implementation
– Only 5 projects have received finance for implementation (NAMA facility)
> Finance sources
– Mainly bilateral source (e.g. NAMA facility, ICI, US AID, CDKN)
– Multilateral sources to play a stronger role in the future (e.g. GCF)
> Unclear where finance will come from at the scale needed
> Clear that private sector is key
– However little experience with private sector involvement
– Need to find clever ways to use scarce public funding to leverage private
investment

> Donors need to put more financing forward to not delay funding and
undermine country NAMA efforts
Issues
> Positive signals in 2013 – NAMA Facility funding
– British German NAMA Facility and GEF provide NAMA implementation
funding
– Others should follow and not wait for learning from NAMA facility
> Avoid host countries getting sceptical
– Value efforts by developing countries by putting forward financing
> Avoid scattered, inefficient funding procedures
– Calls for centralized, multilateral funding from some developing countries
– Coordination among donors on template etc. to avoid proliferation
> Engagement of private sector remains challenging
– NAMAs are policy focused with unclear direct benefits to private sector
– Need successful examples to incentivize private sector involvement

> Broad NAMA UNFCCC definition mentions MRV
> No specific guidelines beyond the unilateral ones expected
> Main challenges
– Direct (short term) need to be measured differently from long term
(transformational) indirect impacts
– Non-GHG impacts need to be monitored
– Support needs to be monitored separately
Main Message
> Successful examples of NAMA MRV systems needed to provide guidance

Broad guidelines on reporting of unilateral NAMAs agreed
Discussions high level and abstract – need concrete examples
Expectations of donors remain unclear
Right balance between MRV guidance and country- driven approaches
Agreement that MRV should not be an obstacle to action

> Many activities ongoing to prepare NAMAs, including feasibility studies
> implementation of supported NAMAs happening in 5 countries (NAMA
facility)
Main Message
> NAMA readiness activities ongoing in many countries but there has been
little experience with successful NAMA implementation so far
Issues
> Readiness
– Lack of knowledge sharing and tools to support implementation
– Need for institutional coordination and resources
– Successful examples are limited – Little cross-country learning so far
> Implementation
– More countries securing financing for implementation needed
– Still capacity gaps in some countries to move to implementation
– Bureaucratic hurdles to receiving finance in developing countries

NOTE: each diagram shows the median value across
26 respondents from the donor community on a scale
from 0: Strongly disagree to 5: strongly agree
Next steps
NAMA definition
- Host countries need
to make assumptions
transparent
- Donors and host
countries need to
articulate preferences
clearer
- More successful
examples needed
NAMA financing
- Donors need to
provide more
financing for NAMA
implementation
- Funding procedures
should be streamlined
- Private sector needs
to be involved proactively
NAMA monitoring
NAMA operationalization
- NAMA proposals
need to provide
successful examples
- streamlined support
of monitoring systems to help country move
to implementation
- Learning on
needed
monitoring long
term/non-GHG effects - More support needed
needed (standards?)
for implementation
(tools, coordination,
etc..)
- More cross-country
learning needed
