The second training is specifically tailored to support the massive blueprint for infrastructure development in Africa, (Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa) PIDA. AFRI-RES is working with AUDA-NEPAD and the African Union Commission to integrate climate resilience into the second phase of PIDA. PIDA, endorsed by the continent's Heads of State and government, is an ambitious long-term plan to close Africa's infrastructure divide through over 400 PIDA initiatives, including 54 hydropower plants and interconnectors and 236 transportation projects.
17 participants (4 females and 14 males) from AUC, AUDA-NEPAD, Regional Economic Communities (including ECCAS, SADC, EAC, and ECOWAS), and country focal points for PIDA-PAP 2 projects were successfully trained at IDEP in Dakar, Senegal, from November 29 through December 1, 2022. The training was provided in collaboration with AUC, AUDA-NEPAD, the Energy Services, the Private Sector Development and Finance Section of UNECA, and IDEP.
