over the last 24 months as rated in the Implementation Status Report (ISR) is “Satisfactory”. The NACOMA project is widely recognized as having made significant contributions to conservation and sustainable utilization of natural resources along Namibia's coast in a very challenging context of competing demands on these resources and fragmented political authority to govern them. The NACOMA project has succeeded in putting in place a basic legal and institutional structure for coast resource management -- the Skeleton Coast park, the national coastal management policy, procedures for coordinating actions across ministries, levels of government, and with the private sector. This structure is still quite new, however (e.g., the NPCM was only approved by Cabinet on September 13, 2012) and the activities proposed under the additional financing are critically needed to ensure that the new laws, policies, and institutions are fully implemented. The additional financing will ensure that the results of the on-going operation are sustained in the future. This additional financing is critical to ensure that the enabling legislation of the NPCM is developed and that the integrated coastal management approach mandated in the NPCM are disseminated and incorporated in development activities. In addition, the protected areas established in the original project will require on the ground support to ensure their sustainability. The activities under the additional financing will help consolidate the results of the original project. Processing this additional GEF grant to an already well performing project brought procedural and other cost-effectiveness gains for the recipient compared to processing a new operation.
