Financing NAMAs: the instruments
 A variety of NAMA financing instruments exist, such as:
- Project financing, structures funds, promotional loans, development
loans, grants, equity instruments, guarantees etc.
 Basic principles of NAMA financing instruments:
- Adaptation to the specific circumstances of the host country to
overcome financial barriers is key
- Instruments need to be sustainable that work beyond first steps of
project implementation
- Affordability of financial instruments is crucial
- Price signals are not enough…
- Availability to potential investors and private sector investors
- Managing risks and attracting private sector investments

Strategic Framework (USD 1,220 million) (DRAFT)
GREEN CLIMATE FUND (GCF)
The Fund will support [developing countries] in pursuing project-based
and programmatic approaches in accordance with climate change
strategies and plans, such as low-emission development strategies or
plans, nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs), national
adaptation plans of action (NAPAs), national adaptation plans (NAPs)
and other related activities.
- Mitigation and Adaptation windows (Same modality of Access)
- 50:50 balance between adaptation and mitigation during the initial phase of
the Fund.
- Private Sector Facility (PSF) – direct and indirect finance to private
sector
- Readiness Support
- National, Regional and International Implementing Entities (Direct and

Financing NAMAs: Role of MDBs
 Multilateral Development Banks
- Trigger and facilitate first steps by providing loans and concessional
funding to prepare and develop NAMAs together with host country
- Help eliminate barriers (technical, regulatory, financial) and riskreturn equation
- Create implicit credit enhancement effect on account of participation
by banks (AAA credit rating)
- Facilitate the access and implementation of climate funds
- Catalyze private investments in NAMAs for long term sustainability
for NAMAs and transformational impact
- Help build institutional capacities for enhanced NAMA coordination
by host countries and help develop national and sectorial plans
- Provide valuable knowledge, regional experience and replicable
best practices
