1 The NAMA Facility Support for the Implementation of NAMAs Regional Workshop on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions in Asia and the Pacific: scaling-up climate change mitigation efforts and prospects for NAMAs in the waste sector March 2014, Bangkok, Thailand Axel Wildner, German Embassy Bangkok & Peter Harrington, British Embassy, Bangkok

2 Purpose, Facts and Means of Support Purpose: Demonstrating a framework for providing tailor-made climate finance for countries developing mitigation for harmful climate change. Building on existing support by funding the implementation of transformational NAMAs seeking international support, thus delivering concrete results on the ground. Raising ambition to close the emission gap and address the lack of NAMA climate finance. Facts : Officially announced by Germany and the UK at COP-18 in Doha Germany and the UK jointly provided 120m of funding First pilot programme is the Mexico Housing NAMA: EcoCasa programme Support for the implementation of parts of NAMAs ( NAMA Support Projects ) focussing on financial support (e.g. grants, concessional loans, guarantees), with technical cooperation (e.g. capacity building) where combined with or closely linked to financial support 2

3 Governance of the NAMA Facility 3

4 Project Cycle of the NAMA Facility 4

5 The First Call for NAMA Support Project Outlines The first call for NAMA Support project Outlines was open from July 10 th to September 2 nd A total of 47 NAMA Support Project Outlines were submitted. The Outlines received showed a balanced distribution across regions and sectors. The projects are evaluated based on three sets of criteria: General eligibility Ambition Feasibility/readiness 5

6 Results of the First Call Pre-selected NAMA Support Project Outlines The following NAMA Support Project Outlines have been pre-selected for funding from the NAMA Facility. Chile - Self-Supply Renewable Energy in Chile (SSRE) Colombia - Transport Oriented Development NAMA Costa Rica - Low Carbon Coffee NAMA Indonesia - Sustainable Urban Transport Program (SUTRI NAMA) Pre-selected projects will start their appraisal phase as soon as administrative steps are cleared out The TSU provided feedback to all countries and delivery organisations, whose NAMA Support Project Outlines were not selected during the 1st Call 6

7 Results of the First Call: NAMAs in the waste sector Seven NAMA Support Projects in the waste sector Balanced geographical spread The eligible projects performed well on ambition (15-20 out of 25 points), but showed some weaknesses on the feasibility/readiness aspects (6-20 out of 25 points) Though no waste NAMA received funding yet, the outlines submitted, show the great potential for developing ambitious NAMAs in the waste sector. 7

8 Lessons Learned from the First Call In general, NAMA Support Projects submitted to the NAMA Facility showed a high level of ambition and a strong commitment of the governments. Project often showed considerable weaknesses with regard to project structure, log frame and project finance. An overall challenge seems to be the involvement of financial actors and accordingly the structuring and in-depth preparation of financial mechanisms (without advanced secured funding). The focus of the NAMA Facility on the implementation of NAMAs, incl. its implication for the project design needs to be emphasized. Lessons learned during the first call as inspiration to improve the documentation and templates for the second call. 8

9 Next Steps of the NAMA Facility The 70m from the initial replenishment have been fully committed BMUB and DECC have committed additional funds of 50 million in 2014 A second call to be launched in mid-2014 Information on the second call will be made available on This includes: - an up-dated version of the General Information Document - the template for NAMA Support Project Outlines to be used during the second call - Lessons Learned during the first call 9
