The objective of the project is to avoid 42,122 tonnes of carbon equivalent over 20 years by catalyzing USD 2.63 million in investments in energy efficient public lighting technology during the three years of project implementation.

The additional funding requested will provide support for the assessment of capacity-building needs for priorities selected during formulation of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan and to implement a country driven CHM project. It is aimed, therefore, at creating favourable conditions for the implementation of strategies in the area of biodiversity.
