The AU AIP Multi-Country Readiness Project, Global Water Partnership Southern Africa, on behalf of the African Union Commission and financed by the GCF, supports Caisse des Dépôts et de Consignations (CDC), Tunisia’s leading public financial institution, in its accreditation process with GCF.

In February, two back-to-back events were convened:

💧 A capacity-building workshop (2–4 February 2026): Designed to strengthen CDC staff capacity on GCF procedures and investment criteria. Particular emphasis was placed on analysing Tunisia’s , identifying areas where CDC can contribute to addressing them, and building a robust, science-based climate rationale.

Ahead of the event, 12 project ideas were submitted by participating institutions and assessed against both GCF and CDC investment criteria. Participants shortlisted two project concepts, which they assessed against key GCF requirements. The group also discussed recommendations to strengthen and refine the concepts.

💧 A Multi-stakeholder consultation workshop (5 February 2026) to build CDC’s climate project pipeline: This workshop brought together representatives from key institutions, including the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Tourism, the water utility, the electricity utility, and the national waste management agency.

💧 On 19 February, Malawi’s Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Development, with technical support from Global Water Partnership Southern Africa, convened a workshop to review comments on a Concept Note submitted by Malawi to GWP Southern Africa for potential funding from the GCF.

💧 The Concept Note, titled “Malawi Integrated Water Resilience and Circular Economy Project (MIWR-CE): Scaling Up , Sanitation and Waste-to-Resource Solutions through Integrated Adaptation across Malawi’s 28 districts,” proposes a nationwide initiative to strengthen climate resilience while promoting circular economy approaches in the water and sanitation sectors.

💧 The proposed project was also showcased during the inaugural AU-AIP Africa Water Investment Summit 2025, where valuable feedback was received from stakeholders. The workshop therefore provided an opportunity to review and incorporate this feedback to further refine the Concept Note.

The workshop was held under the AU-AIP Multi-Country GCF Readiness Programme, implemented by GWP Southern Africa, on behalf of the African Union Commission and financed by the GCF.
