Strengthen capacities in order to reduce risks of economic losses due to climate changes

- A training plan is developed and approved by the Steering Committee;
- Each year, at least 50 women and 50 men from in the energy sector are trained;
- Each year, at least 80% of the women and men trained apply the experience acquired in training
Gender sensitive multi-stakeholder platform installed and functional
Integration and implementation by stakeholders of climate resilient energy access approaches in their business activities
Bushfire management protocols developed and signed
Climate resilient and environmentally sound remunerative activities (beekeeping, small livestock farming, and marketing of improved cooking stoves), involving men, women and youth, and ecologically rational exist.
Community infrastructures built, by type (reforestation, dikes, gabions, riprap, etc.)
Demonstration sessions for resilient bushfire fight methods around fuelwood supply forest areas carried out
Existing community parks of firewood resilient to climate change in areas identified as the most vulnerable
Increase in the amount of people mastering good practices of sustainable land management, both men and women
National Plan for optimal management of supply and demand of electric power in a context of climate change including climate risks and gender-specific needs is available, leading to a decrease in power shortages due to climatic events
Number of existing remunerative activities alternative to forest resources use (beekeeping, horticulture, small livestock breeding, production and maintenance of improved stoves, pressure cookers etc.)
PAF of the relevant areas supplying the cities and urban centers of Benin in biomass are revised to incorporate risks of droughts, wildfires, and other climate risks, as well as adaptation measures and gender-specific needs.
Riverbanks likely to harbor selected hydroelectric facilities are effectively protected against erosion through reforestation (involving men, women and youth) with multipurpose species tolerant of drought and flooding.
The development plans of selected forest areas (PAF) are adopted and validated. (revised to incorporate climate risks, gender and appropriate adaptation measures)
The gender-sensitive Masterplans for Supply (SDA) of fuelwood in the selected cities are developed and validated
The SIEP on domestic fuels and the SIEF updated and including climate risks, gender-sensitive issues and strategic options are functional.
Existing feasibility study (for each locality)
Existing training plan and awareness campaign
FSM operationalized with a policy framework and an investment manual with fiduciary principles, ESS and risk coverage criteria
Improved carbonization technologies spread in charcoal production communities, integrating gender needs and specificities.
Improved stoves and pressure cookers distributed in the most vulnerable rural communities of the selected areas.
Incentives to be provided by Government to project developers/Independent Power Producers (IPPs) approved and operationalised with climate risks reduction coverage mechanisms (eg weather risk insurance-related solutions such as LPC and LPP).
MOU drafted, finalised, signed and enforced with Central Bank, paving the way for a financial climate protection mechanism in the energy sector
Number of improved kilns built and functioning among charcoal production communities
Protective measures for the distribution network implemented.
Technical capacity building program to make improved stoves and pressure cookers, integrating women's specificities
Thermal power plants protective measures are implemented, lowering the risk of breakdowns of the installed capacity during extreme climatic events.

Integrate adaptation in enlarged frameworks at the national scale and in vulnerable areas

Reduce vulnerability in the Benin energy sector
