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.
