To promote Sierra Leone's long-term inclusive growth, there is a need to tackle the net deficit of power production. With a rapidly increasing demand for electricity, the Government of Sierra Leone has embarked on an ambitious strategic investment plan geared towards establishing reliable and sustainable electric power generation points across the country in all districts. The Rural Renewable Energy Project (RREP) was developed to support the Government of Sierra Leone’s goals towards low emissions, climate resilience, gender sensitivity and sustainable growth trajectory. Supported by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the RREP is implemented by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) on behalf of the MoE. The RREP, which spans from October 2016 to May 2022, provides clean energy access which also sustainably grows the country’s energy capacity.

Local Flood Early Warning
By IBE-CNR
8 minutes 36 seconds
|

During the last 20 years, floods have become a major hazard in West Africa, particularly in the Sahelian belt, affecting livelihoods, infrastructure and production systems, and hence heavily impacting on sustainable development. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 recognized Climate Services (CS) as a powerful tool for more effective disaster preparedness. The European research and innovation Roadmap for CS expands their contribution, particularly “hydrometeorological services”, to the Sendai Framework. Our study aims to present the lessons learnt from the set-up of a Community and Impact Based Flood EWS on the Sirba River in Niger.

Climate Actions by the African Union Commission, Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy and Sustainable Environment
By African Union
10 minutes and 57 seconds

WATCH
|
As the African Union (AU) is advancing its reform agenda and the restructuring of the Commission, the 33rd Ordinary Session of the African Union Assembly of Heads of State and Government adopted the new departmental structure for the AU Commission to be instituted over a three-year period (Assembly/AU/Dec.750 (XXXIII). Among the portfolios created is the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy and Sustainable Environment (ARBE).
This new Department comprises of two complementing Directorates under one Commissioner; one for Agriculture and Rural Development, and the other for Sustainable Environment and Blue Economy. The new Directorate of Sustainable Environment and Blue Economy was operationalized since February 2021, and has been working tireless, in collaboration with its partners to advance the Agenda 2063 through the development and implementation of various policies and programs aimed at facilitating the continental transition to an inclusive natural resource management, blue economy and increased resilience to the hazards posed by climate change.
The 2021 Africa Climate Week’s theme aims at accelerating collaboration and integrating climate action into global pandemic recovery. Building forward opens opportunities to address social inequalities and invest in economic development that is good and just for humanity and nature. Partnership and collaboration are keys to all stakeholders, including the marginalized communities such as indigenous people to speed up the implementation of the relevant decisions as well as other strategies of post COVID-19 recovery in Africa. Inclusive participation in combating climate change is urgently needed in Africa especially to address gender, women and youth imbalances in resources management.
