Capacity Building for NAMA Preparation and Implementation

Regional Capacity Building Workshops

The COP, at its 18th session required the secretariat to organize regional technical workshops to support developing countries in development and implementation of their nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs).

To respond to this request, secretariat has been facilitating provision of technical support to developing countries in the design and implementation of their nationally mitigation actions (NAMAs). To that end secretariat has organized three rounds of regional capacity building workshops which brought together national experts with experts from international organizations, private sector and civil society to facilitate sharing of experiences, lessons learned and best practices in the process of preparation and implementation of NAMAs. Hands-on training on financial engineering and measurement, reporting and verification were also part of these regional workshops.

in 2006, in order to tailor the support to meet the specific capacity building needs of countries, particularly those that are lagging behind in design and implementation of NAMA, secretariat organized two sub-regional workshops in Francophone and Anglophone Africa. 

Objective of the regional Capacity-Building Workshops

  • Facilitate provision of tailored technical support to developing countries, particularly those that are lagging behind, in design and implementation of NAMAs;

  • To ensure synergy, coherence and cost-effectiveness and to avoid duplication of efforts, strengthen collaboration within the secretariat and with external partners in providing support to developing countries in implementation of NAMAs an in closing the pre-2020 ambition gap.
