Côte d’Ivoire and the African Development Bank Group announced additional financing on 16 September for the country’s part of the Integrated Programme for Development and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Niger Basin. The $24.07 million package was disclosed in Bouaké during a programme-monitoring mission.

The package comprises a $6.87 million African Development Fund loan, a $12.6 million loan and a $1.9 million grant through the Strategic Climate Fund’s Forest Investment Program (part of the Climate Investment Funds) and $2.7 million from the Ivorian government. The announcement describes added programme financing; it does not say that all funds have already been spent.
