Today, the preservation of the planet as well as the strengthening of social cohesion and local institutions are the ambitions that drive CICLIA's action.

 

Imagining and implementing sustainable cities requires time for strategic and technical studies as well as for the mobilization of appropriate expertise.

 

CICLIA's support to cities before the investment has a threefold ambition:

 

 

 

 

Determining the feasibility of low-carbon and resilient projects

 

Promoting the social inclusion of the most vulnerable,

 

Strengthening the capacities of local authorities.

CICLIA marks a turning point by placing climate change measures at the heart of urban development policies, strategies and programs.

 

Introduced in the wake of the Paris Agreements, CICLIA is one of the very first financing and support initiatives to integrate climate change issues into project preparation for African urban populations.

For CICLIA, climate is a pillar of urban planning and development in Africa
