What is the approach?

16 September 2024
  • Engage with key stakeholders to understand local context needs and opportunities.
  • Develop local capacity, ensuring that the work is relevant, context specific, and serves the most vulnerable.
  • Enhance dialogue between national and subnational levels.
  • Foster institutional cooperation.
  • Promote the development, implementation and monitoring of Sustainable Energy Access and Climate Action Plans (SEACAPs) by and for the cities of sub-Saharan Africa. 
  • The CoM SSA initiative works through three pillars of action:
    • Pillar 1: Technical support: Assessing current climate change mitigation, adaptation and sustainable energy progress, impacts and opportunities, leading to the development of a Sustainable Energy Access and Climate Action Plan (SEACAP).
    • Pillar 2: Project development and finance for action: Working with cities and partners to enhance the implementation of climate change and sustainable energy projects.
    • Pillar 3: Knowledge exchange and partnerships: Deepening city-to-city and regional partnerships and exchanges for scaled climate action.
  • The Secretariat has four primary functions:
    • Coordination
    • Communication and visibility
    • Political liaison
    • Technical services delivered via the Technical Helpdesk

CoM SSA is co-funded by the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ)
