Signature of a partnership agreement between the CNEDD and the NGO Enda Energie to support Niger towards sustainable development
The National Environmental Council for Sustainable Development (CNEDD Niger) and the NGO ENDA ENERGIE signed, on July 28, 2021 in Niamey, a partnership agreement within the framework of strengthening the resilience of populations and ecosystems in Niger .
This partnership aims to support Niger towards sustainable development through several axes, such as the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to the effects of climate change, support in the development of resilience programs low-carbon climate and creators of green jobs among others.
The partnership between the two Institutions is also part of a common vision of mobilizing financial resources based on both national and international opportunities.
The Director of Enda Energie welcomes this agreement which comes at a time when the government of Niger is revising its Nationally Determined Contribution in addition to the development of its National Adaptation Plan (PNA). According to Mr. Sécou SARR, “the needs for strategic partnership with the government of Niger in terms of the environment and more specifically climate change, justify the signing of this agreement between the NGO ENDA ENERGIE and the CNEDD”.
Placed under the supervision of the Prime Minister's office, the CNEDD, composed of representatives of the State and civil society, is responsible for ensuring the coordination and monitoring of national policy on the environment and sustainable development.
