As part of the support and accompaniment of African local authorities for the implementation of the SDGs, particularly the Climate Agenda, UCLG Africa through its African Academy of Local Authorities and the Agency for Ecological Transition – ADEME (France) have set up a partnership and collaboration framework, targeting the empowerment, training and capacity building of local elected officials and staff of these entities.

In perfect coordination between the two partners, training modules for trainers have been developed on the basis of ADEME’s experience and training content. These modules are adapted with the support of experts recruited by ALGA and ADEME, selected for their expertise and experience in the fields of territorial support, sustainable development and teaching.   These modules are designed on the basis of feedback and ADEME training content.

The planned training modules are:

1. Introductory module: The ecological transition of territories;
2. In-depth module: Territorial strategy for adaptation to climate change;
3. In-depth module: Climate and Energy Planning in Africa.

The Modules are being tested for a better focus on the African context, beneficiaries, methodology and pedagogical tools, before being deployed in a series of Training of Trainers Sessions.
