Overview of the project

Following the adoption of the rules for implementing the Paris Agreement at COP24, the time has now come to review and implement the commitments made by countries. In Africa, this involves the implementation of NDC and public sector development policies. In some countries, the orientations defined in these policies do not necessarily respond to the needs of the most vulnerable populations and may pose a threat to achieving the Paris agreement’s objectives on the continent.

At the local level, the challenge is to define local development plans that integrate climate change while remaining consistent with the NDC. We began to address this issue last year during the Bamake workshop, as well as through the 2018 publication.

To deepen these reflections, the project envisages, on the one hand, strengthening RC&D members’ expertise to influence the implementation of NDC, sectoral policies, and local climate change plans, and on the other hand, African associations’ role in monitoring the political processes underway in the countries, in order to draw decision-makers’ attention to the threats and the real solutions to be promoted.
