NAMA as a means to achieve the objectives of NDCsThe NAMA Facility’s Theory of Transformational ChangeNAMA Facility Governance The NAMA Facility BoardTechnical Support UnitGeneral Information Document 7th Call for NAMA Support Projects01 April 20202/24This document provides general information on the NAMA Facility, its objective and functioning (part A) as well as speci�c information on the selection process of NAMA Iupport Projects (NIP) for funding under the Call of the NAMA Facility (part B). The purpose of the document is to assist potential Applicants in The NAMA Facility is a multi-donor programme that supports the implementation of NIPs that e�ect sector-wide shifts toward sustainable, irreversible, carbon-neutral pathways and by this contribute to the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions in developing countries and emerging economies. For identifying the most ambitious NIPs, the NAMA Facility conducts open competitive Calls. Call for NIPs, national ministries from developing countries and other legal entities are invited to submit NIP Outlines to receive support for their NAMA implementation (for more All details about the NAMA Facility and on the 7 Call speci�cally are published on the NAMA Facility’s The NAMA Facility remains committed to a simple and clear application process, direct accessibility for Applicants and a fair and transparent competitive Call. The 7Call application process largely follows the process and procedures from the 6th Call. Iome changes have been introduced to provide more clarity to potential Applicants and are summarised in Annex 1. We look forward to receiving your NIP Outlines.

Transformation towards carbon neutral
Transformation towards carbon neutral societies in line with the 1.5°C objective in the targeted sectors is supported in countries with NAMA Support Projects (NSPs) and beyond Increased mitigation ambition Financing of mitigation actions improved (public and private finance) National ownership strengthened Mitigation actions in further sectors and countries catalysed NAMA Support Projects demonstrate that climate finance can effectively catalyse transformational change in countries – including implementation of NDCs – reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance carbon-neutral development Output 1: The NAMA Facility maintains its function as an effective and efficient mechanism to catalyse ambitious and transformational NAMAs as building blocks of NDC implementation Output 2: Additional public and private finance leveraged towards carbon neutral development Output 3: Good practice examples of NSPs are demonstrated in a spirit of fearless learning Output 4: National and local capacities and enabling environments to implement transformational NAMAs are in place Output 5: Countries implement and monitor NSPs that produce sustainable co-benefits as drivers for transformation NAMA Support Projects implement ambitious climate actions (varying activities depending on NSP according to NSP logframe and Theory of Change) Support development of fundable project pipeline Support to the NAMA Facility Board Advice to applicants/NAMA Support Organisations Monitoring and Reporting Knowledge creation Evaluation and Learning activities Communicate lessons and enable learning inwards, upwards and outwards
