	Stage	Sector name	Sub-sector	Objective
Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings Programme (EEPBP)	Implementation	Buildings		The objective of the NAMA is to identify and implement energy efficiency measures in buildings of the public sector in a consistent and replicable manner.
South African Renewables Initiative (SARI)	Under development	Energy	Renewable energy (unspecified)	The South African Renewables Initiative aims to mobilise domestic and international funding, and sector expertise, to support South Africa to scale-up renewable energy.
Sustainable Settlement Facility	Under development	Buildings		Establish subsidised and gap housing in South Africa as low carbon, removing significant future demand from the coal dominated South African grid.
Passenger Modal Shift from Road to Rail – The Gautrain Case	Under development	Transport		The NAMA covers the modal shift of private passenger vehicles to the Gautrain electric rail directly, or through the feeder bus system.

Feasibility studies for NAMAs

	Stage	Sector name	Sub-sector	Objective
Rollout of electric private passenger vehicles	Feasibility study	Transport	Passenger vehicles	The NAMA aims to produce and use private passenger electric vehicles in South Africa, with the goal of a 10% penetration of electric private passenger vehicles by 2015. The objective is to decrease GHG emissions by 450 MtCO2 equivalent from 2011 to 2050. The NAMA will help to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of electric vehicles, with the potential of making a considerable contribution to the sustainability of the sector, and complementing other national climate change and transport initiatives.
