A Sharing of Lessons by CoM SSA Cities

The Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa (CoM SSA) is an initiative launched by the European Union (EU) in 2015 to support local authorities in Sub-Saharan Africa to redress the impacts of, and mitigate against, climate change, and at the same time ensure access to clean energy. A consortium of 10 partner organisations were engaged to support the initiative. Subsequently, 201 cities have signed up to the CoM SSA, 13 of which were selected as pilot cities and, as such, received funding from the EU.
