The FGEF and French commitments to REDD+
This brochure describes the FGEF’s commitments to REDD+, the new mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation and land degradation in developing countries, through examples of different projects. Thanks to the experience it has gained with its network of partners, the FGEF is in a position to support both the preparation of pilot REDD+ activities and the implementation phases that follow.
The collection
The "Capitalising on experience" series presents the FGEF’s strategic approach in each topic area, through brief descriptions of the pilot activities and field operations conducted with its partners. The series documents capitalisation on experiences in which the FGEF has acted as a partner for the preservation and sustainable management of the environment.
The West African Protected Areas Newsletter
The APAO newsletter n°47 is about "Papaco trainings in protected areas management ; forestering community participation in REDD + in Ghana through community resource management approaches ; the Wildlife Conservation Society training courses at Lopé (Gabon) ; the next UICN world conservation congress at Jeju ; and, if "Wild" still have a meaning nowadays.
PAPACO's mission is to make available to the greatest number relevant information on protected areas in the region.
APAO newsletter is issued monthly exclusively on the Internet and forwarded to any person interested and member of our network (more than 1 500 people registered). APAO newsletter deals with current events on the protected areas of the region and regularly deals with basic themes to enable us improve our knowledge of protected areas.
Publication of the FGEF Strategic Programming Framework for 2011-2012
The FGEF’s new Strategic Programming Framework (SPF) has now been released. The SPF is a strategic planning instrument released every two years to facilitate implementation of the missions assigned to the FGEF and monitoring of the relevant activities by the members of its Steering Committee.
The FGEF’s new Strategic Programming Framework (SPF) has now been released. The SPF is a strategic planning instrument released every two years to facilitate implementation of the missions assigned to the FGEF and monitoring of the relevant activities by the members of its Steering Committee.
The new SPF was developed following a strategic, operational and financial audit of the FGEF in 2010. The conclusions of this assessment confirmed the relevance of the FGEF's position on global environment issues related to sustainable development in developing countries. They also underlined the fundamental importance of the innovation concept specific to the FGEF, and the replication of associated activities to strengthen their impact.
This retrospective assessment also served as a basis for the decision to replenish the FGEF’s resources for 2011-2014 to a total of 95 million euros.
The SPF’s development is first of all an opportunity for assessing the FGEF’s activities in 2009-2010, when 33 new projects were launched with total grants of 36.87 million €.
The programming framework also sets out the FGEF’s mission and mandates for 2011-2012, and its strategic guidelines for each of the global environment topic areas in which it is involved.
The SPF emphasises Africa and the Mediterranean as the priority geographical areas for FGEF intervention. Developing partnerships with the private sector, civil society and research also remains a major focus of FGEF activities for 2011-2012.
French know-how on energy efficiency in buildings
This brochure is designed to promote French know-how on the international scene and describes French public and private sector offers, from R&D to marketing of products and services.
The brochure was developed by the ADEME and the European and International Affairs Directorate of the Ministry for Ecology and Energy (MEDDTL), in cooperation with UBIFRANCE, the French agency for international business development.
The brochure cites the FGEF and the project for “Improving Energy Efficiency in Buildings”, co-financed by a 0.9 M€ FGEF grant.
Casablanca International Construction Trade Fair (SIB)
During the 13th edition of the International Construction Trade Fair (SIB 2010) organised by Morocco’s Ministry for Housing and Planning (MHUAE) and the 4th edition of “Convergence Habitat et Urbanisme 2010”, both held from 1 to 7 November 2010 at the international fair in Casablanca, a series of conferences on new cities was organised from 2 to 5 November:
- New cities: Methods, approaches and governance,
- New Cities and Territorial Solidarity,
- New Cities and Social Integration,
- New Cities and Sustainability.
France was a guest of honour, and the ADEME’s presence in the French pavilion was requested by its supervisory authority, the Ministry for the Environment. As the agency representing France, the ADEME took part in various conferences and held a joint ADEME/AFD/FGEF stand promoting the FGEF's energy efficiency project developed to support the overarching programme run by France’s renewable energy and energy efficiency development agency (ADEREE). Several French companies currently working on sustainable housing projects in Morocco were also represented through Club ADEME International.
A joint FGEF - ADEME - ADEREE poster was created to illustrate an ambitious programme for energy efficiency in buildings in Morocco.

Introduction of heating and energy regulations in Tunisia
This project on energy efficiency in buildings was launched in 1999, with a total budget of 10.3 million € including 1.9 million € in co-financing from the FGEF.
The project was implemented by the ANME and conducted through a participatory approach with close involvement from all key players in the construction sector. The project resulted in the establishment of heating regulations for new buildings. The project, which involved 43 pilot demonstration operations in the residential and tertiary sectors, has now been incorporated into Tunisia's energy management policy.
The project assessment conducted by the AFD’s Executive Directorate for Strategy is providing input to capitalise on this experience. The assessment is available from www.afd.fr
