The French authorities through France Expertise, initiated a support facility for 27 mostly French-speaking countries in Africa that have expressed need for assistance with the development of their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) for submission to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Out of the 27, MWH Global supported 10 countries in their process to develop an INDC.
The main objective of this framework contract is to provide support mainly to African Countries with an emphasis on Least Developed Countries and Small Islands Developing States in the development of their INDCs in time for submission to the UNFCCC by October 2015, in advance of COP 21 in Paris in December 2015.
