Summary of the Proposed Africa Green Stimulus Programme: Note by the Secretariat - African Ministerial Conference on the Environment - Eighth Special Session - Ministerial Meeting
The African Green Stimulus Programme is an innovative African-led initiative that is being developed to support the continent’s recovery response to the devastating socio-economic and environmental impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in a more green and sustainable manner. The programme intends to provide an overarching framework that will support the recovery of environment and sustainable development initiatives in Africa, whilst identifying new areas requiring strategic interventions. The programme is intended to bring about a common and unifying continental response by enhancing and forging cooperation and partnerships between and among African governments, non-state actors, intergovernmental organisations, the private sector in support of a comprehensive green recovery for Africa. The African Green Stimulus Programme is intended to be dynamic and responsive to support African countries to continue attaining Africa’s Agenda 2063 aspirations and the Sustainable Development Goals as well as delivering impactful scaled up interventions as the continent recovers from the pandemic. The African Green Stimulus Programme also aims to contribute towards the operationalization of the provisions of UNFCCC and its Paris Agreement regarding finance, technology transfer and capacity building for African countries.
