Based on the TNA and funded by the Green Climate Fund, Armenia's Ministry of Nature Protection launched a project in 2016. The project will build the market for energy efficiency building retrofits in Armenia, leading to sizeable energy savings and GHG emission reductions (up to 5.8 million tCO2 of direct and indirect emission savings over the 20-year equipment lifetimes), green job creation and energy poverty reduction. It will directly benefit over 200,000 people and will catalyse private and public sector investment of approximately USD 100 million.

Accordingly, the TNA has led to biogas technologies and the production of briquettes from forestry waste being prioritized as measures to curb the emissions released from the residual waste. As a result, two companies, ADERCI and SITRADE, will incorporate biogas production into their waste management plants.

Tanzania's new Technology Action Plan for the water sector identifies smart water meters as a key priority for Tanzania to address the widespread problem of water that is lost before reaching the consumer. The plan identifies and analyses barriers and the enabling framework conditions, which are required for introducing water leakage management through smart water metering systems. Thereby it starts the digitalization of the water sector in Tanzania. Embarking into a smart water metering programme is a huge challenge and involves extensive planning, training of personnel, customer information system and management. A higher awareness of water consumption is a key contribution by the smart water meters, but digitalization will also have a significant impact on preserving the country’s water resources in general.

The project's aim is to implement small hydroelectric power plants and photovoltaic solar stations in five administrative regions of Togo. The goal is to install four small hydroelectric power plants and six photovoltaic solar stations across the five regions. It is estimated that this will reduce GHG emissions by 300,000 to 800,000 tCO2.

By expanding on pre-existing national strategies in Tunisia, the TNA recommends increasing conservation agriculture practices. The Technology Action Plan details a project to implement this suggestion. The goal is to increase the area under conservation agriculture from its current 12,000 ha to 33,000 ha by 2025 and 180,000 ha by 2030, ultimately reaching 350,000 ha by 2050. This ambition will leverage the potential of conservation agriculture to ensure the sustainability of the grain system and improve current and future food security.

One of the outcomes of the TNA has been the identification and selection of wave energy as a highly relevant technology to be included in Uruguay's mitigation efforts. Preliminary estimates shows that, by incorporating wave energy into its renewable energy mix, Uruguay could potentially reduce emissions by 318,000 tCO2e per year.

The TNA emphasized integrated coastal zone management as one of the priority areas for adaptation in Vietnam. The construction of sea dykes, wetland rehabilitation and flood warning systems is essential in increasing the country’s resilience to the increasing impacts of sea-level rises, typhoons and flooding.

Based on the outcomes of the TNA, a large-scale project has been launched to support the Government of Zambia’s renewable energy feed-in tariff (REFIT) policy. With funding from the Green Climate Find, it will provide technical assistance, support local financial institutions and build the capacity for rural electrification. The project has a lifespan of 23 years, and it is anticipated that emissions of 4,000,000 tCO2e will be avoided.
