This investment is a second phase, after a pilot investment in Nepal and Senegal, which aimed to understand the potential of GGGI to support policy, planning, and investment development that includes sanitation in the climate resilience and green growth agenda. This second phase, in line with the Governments direction in the target countries, is, therefore a follow-through action in terms of mainstreaming sanitation into the national policies through the upcoming revision of NDCs. Increasing the attractiveness of the sanitation sector for climate finance remains challenging, and raising the profile of sanitation in the NDC with accurate estimation and a corresponding action plan will strengthen the case for more climate financing. Further, phase 2 will explore investment opportunities by conducting project pre-feasibility studies combining sanitation with solid waste and exploring sustainable business models to attract investments. Knowledge sharing will be a strong component of phase 2, focusing on West Africa. The project aims for the following outcomes: Outcome 1: Enhanced understanding of climate-resilience opportunities in the sanitation sector in the region by strengthening the platform for sharing and knowledge approach to further climate- sanitation nexus narrative Outcome 2: Mainstreamed sanitation into national/local strategy, MRV system and updated NDCs. Outcome 3: Disseminated innovative and climate-friendly sanitation technologies suitable for local markets in the target countries. Under Outcome 1, GGGI entered a partnership with the African Water and Sanitation Association (AfWASA) to conduct a regional capacity building program on the climate-sanitation nexus. In addition to the three target countries, the program will be expended to an additional 5-7 countries in Africa through a training of trainers program.
