Technical assistance for the Programme of Adaptation of Cities to Climate Change (PAVICC) ( 2021 - 2023 )
The PAVICC is an urban development programme aimed at planning the urbanisation of four cities in Benin (Cotonou, Comè, Sémè-Podji and Bohicon) taking the current and future impacts of climate change into account. PAVICC aimed to advise cities and strengthen their institutional, organisational and individual capacities in the areas of land use planning, with the introduction of the concept of resilience, infrastructure (planning, management and maintenance), taxation and budgeting.
The main focus areas of PAVICC were:
- Urban planning - Development of strategic and operational urban planning tools to anticipate and prevent the recurrence of current situations and to better take climate, urban and socio-economic risks into account in urban planning documents, and
- Resilient urban investment - Development of essential and sustainable urban services such as drainage infrastructure, improved neighbourhood accessibility and the protection of physical assets and flood-prone areas.
