The CoM SSA SEACAP Toolbox provides an easy-to-use step-by-step guide to support the development of a SEACAP from start to finish. It is a hands-on tool, designed as a series of slide presentations, presented as individual modules, to support local governments implement the recommendations in the SEACAP guidebook. It complements the existing SEACAP Guidebook.
The SEACAP Toolbox has been developed by the CoM SSA initiative with funding from the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ). It was launched in November 2020 and updated in June 2022
Started in 2015, the Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa (CoM SSA) is a major catalyst for local climate action in the region, with political commitment from over 300 local governments. The purpose of CoM SSA is to support local governments in moving from planning to implementation, with a focus on unlocking climate finance at the local level.
The CoM SSA initiative is a European Union (EU) action that supports the external dimension of the European Green Deal, as the global challenges of climate change and environmental degradation require a global response. At the same time CoM SSA moves to strengthen the Africa-EU partnership and supports Agenda 2063 of the African Union Commission. CoM SSA is the regional chapter of an international alliance of cities, the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy. It is a partnership between city networks, development agencies and funding institutions, supporting cities in meeting the dual challenge of climate change and access to sustainable energy to achieve a low-emission, climate resilient and sustainable energy future.
