The NAMA has five key objectives which are:
- Increase the level of renewable energy (for electricity) and contribute to the national long-term target of
increasing the share of renewable energy within the power generation sector
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the power generation sector
- Increase the rural population’s access to sustainable electricity.
- Encourage an increase in rural community income generation, and improve rural livelihoods
- Increase the level of private sector participation within the power sector.
Activities: (2015 - 2030)
The NAMA is planned in two phases:
- Phase 1 activities will include the establishment of two types of ventures which will connect unelectrified rural
communities: RE Community Energy Centres (RE-CEC) and RE Micro-Grids (RE-MGs).
- Phase 2 ventures will comprise RE systems which will displace thermal generation at existing regional grids (referred to as RE Displacement Systems—RE-DIS) and RE independent power producers (RE-IPPs). Phase 2 will shift activities to a larger scale private sector model. Ventures will include six RE-DIS, of various
capacities, and a seven megawatt RE-IPP.

Co-benefits:
| Social: | * energy access |
|
| Economic: | * job creation |
|
| Environmental: | * emission reduction |
MRV Framework:
In the MRV, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change’s (UNFCCC) “Small-scale Methodology: AMS-I.L Electrification of rural communities using renewable energy, Version 03.0” will be used to monitor GHG emission reductions.
Six key indicators will be quantitatively measured as SD proxies for Phase 1 :
- Number of operating SMEs using energy from the ventures
- Number of new jobs created
- Number of hours of equipment use in the RPZ (hrs/yr)
- Number of hectares of irrigated using water pumped by
electricity from the hectare (ha/yr)
- Number of households connected to the minigrid which are
consuming energy
- Number of public buildings (eg. schools. clinics) connected to the mini grid
