Côte d'Ivoire - Additional Financing - Integrated Programme for Development and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Niger Basin (PIDACC-BN) - Côte d'Ivoire Component

The Programme for Integrated Development and Climate Change Adaptation (PIDACC/BN) is a regional initiative aimed at building the climate resilience of vulnerable communities in the Niger Basin countries. It was designed as nine (9) national projects executed by member countries, including Côte d’Ivoire, plus a regional component implemented by the Niger Basin Authority (NBA). The project was approved on 7 November 2018. PIDACC-Côte d’Ivoire comprises three components : (I) Component 1 : Restoration of forest capital and improvement of resilience in the central region, (ii) Component 2 : Improvement of the climate resilience of ecosystems and communities of the northwest subbasin of the Niger Basin, and (iii) Component 3 : Project management. The Forest Cover Recovery and Resilience Improvement Project in the Central Region (PFAR) funded by the Forest Investment Programme’s (FIP) Strategic Climate Fund (SCF) has been incorporated in Component 1 of PIDACC-Côte d’Ivoire. Of six years duration, the project's closing date was initially scheduled for 31 December 2025 but was extended to 31 December 2027. The proposed additional SCF-FIP and ADF financing will strengthen the project’s expected outcomes since the financing will serve, among other things, to continue outreach campaigns or the intensification of forestry and agroforestry activities in the target area in the country’s central region. The activities proposed under this additional financing project will support Côte d'Ivoire's efforts to achieve balanced regional development and combat climate change as set out in the National Development Plan (PND : 2026–2030), especially its Pillar 5, "Balanced regional development, environmental conservation and the fight against climate change”, and the National Agricultural Investment Programme (PNIA II : 2018-2025).
