Donors

Sida is the main funding agency for the Efd initiative. Starting from 2010, EEPFE was involved in issues focusing on climate conventions, climate finance, carbon trading, and carbon markets with focus on Africa in general and Ethiopia in particular. This is a joint activity with EDRI through partial funding from the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) and continued in 2011. In addition, Sida financed the Climate Change Workshop co-organized with our host institution, EDRI, which was held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on 20 July 2011.

The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) is the core financier of the EfD initiative. Sida is a government agency that works according to directives of the Swedish Parliament and Government to reduce poverty in the world. The overall goal of Swedish development cooperation is to contribute to making it possible for poor people to improve their living conditions. Sida is organized in nine departments.

Sida’s External Expert Advice for Environmental Economics supports the skills of the EfD centers and their exposure to various international initiatives.
