The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) and the Global Environment Facility have rolled out the first African regional training workshop to enhance the operational effectiveness of GEF operational focal points (OFPs) across 23 African countries. This workshop is part of a broader partnership that was kickstarted earlier this year to equip OFPs with the necessary tools and knowledge to oversee and monitor their respective GEF portfolios more effectively. The initiative runs from January 1, 2025 to April 30, 2026.
The initiative will directly support OFPs from Angola, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic (CAR), Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Gabon, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.
