BOAD Launches Climate Study Fund to Bolster Resilience in 8 African Countries
The initiative aims to provide vital financial support for climate change adaptation and mitigation projects in eight West African nations: Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo.
The Climate Study Fund will offer grants to fund feasibility studies, technical assistance, and capacity-building activities related to climate-resilient infrastructure development and green growth initiatives.
The fund seeks to unlock larger investments in climate-smart solutions and accelerate the region’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
The Climate Study Fund aligns with BOAD’s broader climate finance strategy, which aims to mobilize €1.5 billion by 2025 to support climate-related investments across its member states.
The bank recognizes the disproportionate impact of climate change on West Africa, which is characterized by increased droughts, floods, and rising sea levels.
These challenges threaten food security, water availability, and economic development, highlighting the urgent need for effective climate action.
