Project code: TC_4.1.2_190407_P125 -1C

Programme: MAVA - Sustainable infrastructure project

Call: MAVA - funding on Sustainable infrastructure project

The MAVA funded capacity building programme aims to support local and regional governments and project developers in cities and regions to develop resilient, climate-sensitive and socially-inclusive infrastructure projects, with a focus on financial structuring to secure necessary investments. The programme targets sustainable infrastructure projects in Morocco and Western Africa that are in more advanced stages of project development and need support in financial structuring. The expected outcomes of this programme are to increase the development stage of concrete regional and municipal infrastructure projects through the delivery of training to the teams behind them. Project developments up to this reporting period can be summarised under four key work streams:

Project management and coordination among the partnership and the target institutions.
Development and delivery of online content that is one of the core training tools the project aims to adopt for supporting the growth of local teams in developing contexts.
Development and organisation of two regional workshops which are the short-term outcomes of the project to test the effectiveness of the proposed solutions for capacity building.
Outreach and Building a community of practice, which is the mid-/long-term outcome of the whole project.
