GIZ CoM SSA - 10 Years of Cities Taking Climate Action

A Decade of Implementation marks ten years of the Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa (CoM SSA) and documents the initiative’s evolution since its launch in 2015. Produced by GIZ in the framework of CoM SSA, the publication brings together reflections from cities, institutional partners, donors, and long-standing experts, combining strategic perspectives with concrete city examples. It highlights key milestones, approaches, and results achieved over the past decade, including the development of SEACAPs, support for project preparation, and the growing focus on implementation and investment, while also outlining priorities and lessons learnt as CoM SSA enters Phase IV.
