In this video, we're exploring the remarkable environmental transformation happening in Côte d'Ivoire, thanks to the Global Environment Facility, or GEF.
Côte d'Ivoire has been a dedicated partner of the GEF since 1991, demonstrating their commitment to sustainable development. But what does this commitment look like in action?
The GEF has funded over 400 microprojects in Côte d'Ivoire, investing more than 4 billion CFA francs.
This support reaches grassroots organizations and NGOs, impacting over 1000 villages and benefiting 250,000 people, with a strong focus on women and youth empowerment.
Projects funded by the GEF focus on Biodiversity conservation, Fighting deforestation, Climate change adaptation and Sustainable livelihoods.
The GEF isn't just about grants – they also offer concessional-rate funding for private sector involvement in green initiatives. This is a huge opportunity for sustainable businesses in Côte d'Ivoire!
