Setting up a training plan for the Cities Adaptation to Climate Change Programme (PAVICC)

Benin is currently facing a number of crucial environmental issues, including flooding, untreated solid and liquid waste, and air pollution. The Beninese authorities would like to make PAVICC an emblematic programme of the "cities and climate" experience, in the direct line of the innovative "Porto-Novo, green city" project (€8 million AFD grant awarded to the local authority in September 2015).

In order to help these cities increase their capacity to adapt to climate change, the PAVICC aims to build the capacities of the various municipal and central players in charge of sustainable urban development. These players have been identified in the municipalities and ministries.

Forhom by Egis is in charge of preparing and running 3 training courses:

​

• Project management: strategic and operational management of programmes and projects

• Integrating climate change into governance and development projects

• Environmental and social management of projects (SEA, ESIA, RAP, ESMP, etc.)


Forhom by Egis is in charge of implementing training courses for the PAVICC, from the design of each training module, the preparation of teaching itineraries and materials, the running of training courses and the drafting of reports on each training course carried out.

As part of the implementation of this project, Egis Forhom is responsible for :

​

• Mobilising 4 international experts

• Preparing training materials

• Running 3 training sessions in Cotonou

• Assessing what has been learnt at the end of the training course
