Developing Financeable NAMAs A Practitioner’s Guide

Figure 2 provides a general overview of the approach to operationalizing these two methodologies. Both require local validation to ensure potential NAMAs are nestled in country-development priorities and relect local input. If
international consultants assist with the screening process, a sustained in-country presence, strong local partners, and open and collaborative relationships with key government oicials are critical elements of success. It is also critically
important to consult across various government ministries, as well as with stakeholders in business, academia and non-governmental organizations.
FIGURE 2: METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH
NAMA Concept Quick Screen
– identiies promising NAMA options to be put forward for local validation, and produces information for the UNFCCC registry template for NAMAs seeking support for preparation NAMA concept.
NAMA Proposal Deep Screen
– analyzes priority NAMA opportunities using a variety of techniques and tools, and produces information on viable NAMAs that could be used for submissions to the UNFCCC NAMA registry, either as
a NAMA seeking support for preparation NAMA concept or a NAMA seeking support for implementation NAMA proposal.
1. SET CONTEXT Obtain all important data,
documents, and other material required to
undertake project work.
Collect key documents related to the country’s current context, its priorities
and policies, and current initiatives in the country. Assemble background.
information.
Collect data to estimate emission baselines and forecasts and to analyze
the country’s current and future state in terms of economic sectors and
overall development.
Approach
2. ANALYSIS Review all collected
documents. Selectively pull and categorize
information.
Identify government priorities, policies, current initiatives, and recommended
actions. Consolidate findings into lists of each of these, with references noted and
available for each.
Prepare a profile of each sector Energy, Agriculture, Transport, Industry, Forest,
and Waste Management. Determine historical GHG emissions from 1990-
present. Forecast emissions using modelling.
3. 3.LONG LIST Screen documents for
potential NAMA opportunities.
Put together a long list of potential NAMA opportunities based on
information collected in the above steps.
Put together a long list of potential NAMA opportunities based on
information drawn from a quick screen or input from country stakeholders.
Deep Screen Proposals
Quick Screen Concepts
4. SHORT LIST Screen long list of NAMAs
against a set of criteria to develop a short list of
potential NAMAs.
Screen long list according to the following criteria:
Mitigation potential
Alignment with government priorities
Evidence of existing action
Existence of co-benefits
Screen long list by performing the following steps:
Estimate reduction potential from GHG forecast and associated
abatement costs
Assess sustainable development co- benefits
Validate assumptions and analysis with country experts
5. VALIDATEFINALIZE Validate NAMA
opportunities with key stakeholders. Suggest
priority NAMA opportunities.
Prepare country report that presents NAMA opportunities, organized by
UNFCCC sectors. Validate with country stakeholders if possible. If desired,
develop NAMA concepts.
Present to high-level government officials. Determine collaboratively
which NAMAs represent highest potential. Identify financing
options. If desired, develop NAMA proposals.
Sustained in-country presence and ongoing stakeholder consultation and
validation
