The GEF has helped implement more than 1,800 projects in Africa, with a total investment of $6.2 billion. These investments have leveraged over $40 billion from other stakeholders, including governments, bilateral and multilateral partners, the private sector, and civil society organizations.

As a financial mechanism for international environmental treaties, the GEF has played a catalytic role in tackling the major environmental issues facing Africa.

This publication details the GEF’s work and illustrates how African countries, with GEF support, are diligently working to fulfill their obligations under these agreements.
