Defining recommendations for project preparation facilities for low emission development in West Africa
One of the objectives of this mechanism is to support project preparation of local governments, either through direct support to project leaders or through existing financial institutions dedicated to local development.
Within this framework, the PPF project aims at developing and/or reinforcing replicable climate project preparation facilities within the existing public financial institutions at regional level (the West African Development Bank – BOAD, the future WAEMU mechanism) and at national level (Municipal development funds). This could also be relevant to easing the flow of international climate finance (e.g. Green Climate Fund) through these intermediaries.
PPF’s innovative approach considers:
* Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo and Guinea-Bissau.
