The document summarizes statistics and information on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) from the UNFCCC Registry and NAMA Database. It notes that while there are over 80 NAMAs across 34 countries listed in the database, the level of detail provided varies and there is likely more progress on NAMAs than is publicly reported. It also identifies areas where more clarity, funding, concrete examples, and sharing of experiences are needed to advance the development and implementation of NAMAs between donor countries and host countries. The document concludes with short opinion pieces from nine organizations on various topics related to NAMA finance, development, implementation, monitoring and the NAMA Facility.

1. Annual Status Report on NAMAs 2013
Statistics:
• 40 submissions for the UNFCCC Registry: 50% from Jordan and Serbia
• Level of detail varies (read: is sometimes very low)
• NAMA Database contains 82 NAMAs and 33 studies across 34 countries
Note: there is more happening on NAMAs then meets the eye! For example,
some of the submissions to the NAMA Facility have not been published earlier.
Where progress is most needed:
• Donors and host countries need to be clearer on what they require and expect from NAMA
proposals: content and level of detail
• Flexibility is good, but practical guidance needs to be more specific
• More funding is needed, to avoid host countries getting skeptical
• Concrete MRV examples are lacking and the discussion remains rather abstract
• Learning by doing is needed: share NAMA proposals, experiences, expectations, and opinions!

2. Opinion pieces by nine organisations:
• The role of NAMA finance in advancing transformational NAMAs
• Developing NAMA proposals – is there convergence?
• Transformational change: what does it mean and how can it be assessed?
• Capacity-building support for NAMAs
• Issues and options for designing and implementing NAMAs: online survey
• Institutional challenges to develop and implement NAMAs
• Domestic institutional arrangement for NAMAs
• MRV needs for a diversity of country objectives and NAMA types
• The NAMA Facility: financing the implementation of NAMAs
