ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability – Africa Secretariat (ICLEI Africa) is the regional office that works with sub-Saharan African local governments on sustainability, and houses the Secretariat for the global Cities Biodiversity Center. ICLEI Africa has been working with local governments from around the world for over 14 years, providing technical and advocacy services that relate to sustainability.
ICLEI Africa contributes to the FRACTAL consortium via:
- its knowledge of good practice for interacting with African local governments, and knowledge of local government decision making processes;
- dissemination of project lessons and outcomes on global platforms available via global ICLEI networks and roles; and
- expertise and experiential knowledge gained through the implementation of climate change related projects in numerous African city regions, as well as climate change related research conducted in African city regions.
