The Government of Zambia hosted two back-to-back workshops in January 2013 under the theme “Green Growth in Africa: Concepts, Tools and Strategies for Building Greener Economies and a Sustainable Future” in partnership with the African Development Bank, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
The workshops presented conceptual issues and policy tool kits on implementing green growth policy measures and strategic environmental assessments. Bringing together over 100 participants including policy makers and technical experts from 20 African countries and representatives from the donor community, the event was targeted at informing and sharing African governments’ experiences in these areas. The workshop also facilitated dialogue with donor agencies in attendance, which have supported Africa’s green growth undertakings.
