During its first phase, the $500 million IDA* financed multiphase operation will involve Cabo Verde, Guinea, Liberia, and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to increase collaboration and improve health system capacities to prevent, detect, and respond to health emergencies in the region. The Program will also leverage financing from other partners, namely the Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents, and the Pandemic Fund.regions:Africa,subject:regional integration,subject:health,country:Liberia,country:Guinea,country:Cabo Verde,country:Chad,country:Mauritania,country:Cameroon,country:Burkina Faso,country:Mali,country:Nigeria,country:Niger,country:Senegal,country:Gambia,country:Sierra Leone,country:Ghana,country:Gabon,country:Congo, Republic of,country:Central African Republic,country:Togo,country:Benin,country:Equatorial Guinea,country:Guinea-Bissau,country:Cote-dIvoireEnglishAfricaA One Health Approach to Boost Health Security in Western and Central AfricaRegional Integration,HealthP179078/content/wb-home/en/news/press-release/2023/12/20/a-one-health-approach-to-boost-health-security-in-western-and-central-africa2023-12-19T16:02:00ZAfricacq5Liberia,Guinea,Cabo Verde,Chad,Mauritania,Cameroon,Burkina Faso,Mali,Nigeria,Niger,Senegal,Gambia,Sierra Leone,Ghana,Gabon,Congo, Republic of,Central African Republic,Togo,Benin,Equatorial Guinea,Guinea-Bissau,Cote-dIvoireLR,GN,CV,TD,MR,CM,BF,ML,NG,NE,SN,GM,SL,GH,GA,CG,CF,TG,BJ,GQ,GW,CIPress ReleasePress ReleaseAfrica, AFRIDAY2E4MjY2OWY0MTgyMDhlZmZkMTA3MjM3ZDJjODEzNjljZjY1Y2JkNg2http://www.banquemondiale.org/fr/news/press-release/2023/12/20/a-one-health-approach-to-boost-health-security-in-western-and-central-africaLiberia,Guinea,Cabo Verde,Chad,Mauritania,Cameroon,Burkina Faso,Mali,Nigeria,Niger,Senegal,Gambia,Sierra Leone,Ghana,Gabon,Congo, Republic of,Central African Republic,Togo,Benin,Equatorial Guinea,Guinea-Bissau,Cote d'IvoireLa Banque mondiale a approuvé ce jour le Programme de sécurité sanitaire pour l'Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre afin de renforcer la sécurité sanitaire dans la sous-région.

The Danzi solar plant will replace more than 90% of the energy currently produced by diesel, resulting in annual savings of $4 million in fuel costs for the government. It will also contribute to a net reduction in emissions of 670,674 tons of CO2. To fast track its construction, the World Bank directly supported the government in procuring resources and supplies.subject:power and electricity sector,country:Central African Republic,subject:renewable energy,subject:energy-access,subject:sustainable economic growth,subject:climate change adaptation,subject:climate change,subject:infrastructure and growthEnglishPowering Up Africa: Let There Be LightPower And Electricity Sector,Renewable Energy,Energy-access,Sustainable Economic Growth,Climate Change Adaptation,Climate Change,Infrastructure And GrowthP164885,P176683/content/wb-home/en/news/feature/2023/11/27/powering-up-africa-let-there-be-light2023-11-28T16:19:00Zcq5Central African RepublicCFFeature StoryFeature StoryAfrica, AFRIDAY2U0ODZlYTQwNmIzMTZiMWQ3ZDQyMDU5OGYxOTNmZGNlYTUwZjQ5NA2http://www.banquemondiale.org/fr/news/feature/2023/11/27/powering-up-africa-let-there-be-lightCentral African RepublicAvec seulement 35 % de la population ayant accès à l'électricité dans la ville de Bangui, 8 % dans les principales villes de province et seulement 2 % dans les communautés rurales, augmenter les investissements dans le secteur de l'énergie est un impératif pour mettre fin à la pauvreté tout en promouvant une croissance durable et résiliente au changement climatique.

Off-grid systems using solar power are increasingly providing energy services in the region. Moreover, regional cooperation through programs such as the West Africa Power Pool (WAPP) is making it possible to supply energy to 14 AFW countries—benefiting 64 percent of the total AFW population. Nevertheless, a significant scale-up of current efforts will be needed to achieve universal energy access by 2030.subject:energy efficiency,subject:energy-access,subject:renewable energy,regions:Africa,subject:regional integration,subject:green-growth,subject:inclusive-growth,subject:sustainable economic growth,subject:power and electricity sector,country:Nigeria,country:Ghana,country:Burkina Faso,country:Gambia,country:Cote-dIvoire,country:Mali,country:Niger,country:Chad,country:Cameroon,country:Cabo Verde,subject:infrastructure and growth,subject:infrastructure,country:Togo,country:Sierra Leone,country:Liberia,country:Senegal,country:Congo, Republic of,country:Mauritania,country:Gabon,country:Guinea,consultations:country/equatorial-guinea,country:Guinea-Bissau,country:Central African Republic,country:BeninEnglishAfricaScaling Up Energy Access for Green, Resilient, and Inclusive Development in Western and Central AfricaEnergy Efficiency,Energy-access,Renewable Energy,Regional Integration,Green-growth,Inclusive-growth,Sustainable Economic Growth,Power And Electricity Sector,Infrastructure And Growth,InfrastructureP161885,P125565,P094919,P179267,P163568,P146830/content/wb-home/en/projects-operations/results/2023/11/17/scaling-up-energy-access-for-green-resilient-and-inclusive-development-in-western-and-central-africa2023-11-17T13:02:00ZtrueAfricacq5Nigeria,Ghana,Burkina Faso,Gambia,Cote-dIvoire,Mali,Niger,Chad,Cameroon,Cabo Verde,Togo,Sierra Leone,Liberia,Senegal,Congo, Republic of,Mauritania,Gabon,Guinea,Guinea-Bissau,Central African Republic,BeninNG,GH,BF,GM,CI,ML,NE,TD,CM,CV,TG,SL,LR,SN,CG,MR,GA,GN,GW,CF,BJResultsResultsAfrica, AFRIDAOTgxOWE4Yzk1ZWU1MjQ1OWZhZGU3ZTk3YmM3YmI4NTE3ZTJlNjcxMQ2http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/infographic/2023/11/15/taking-on-poverty-in-central-african-republicCentral African RepublicThe Central African Republic (CAR) has the 5th highest rate of poverty in the world, with nearly 70% of the country’s people living in extreme poverty.
