Mission:

The first phase of the Support for Decentralisation and Local Initiatives Project in the Republic of Djibouti (ADIL) (2020-2024) aimed to implement activities to promote decentralisation, strengthen governance, and support local development. ADIL 2 follows on from ADIL 1, which notably led to the development of around 70 localised activities (sub-projects) benefiting the populations in five regions. The mission’s objective was to develop, on behalf of the AFD, an Environmental and Social Management Framework to outline guidelines for deploying sub-projects, including identifying sub-projects at risk. The aim is to minimise the potential environmental and social impacts of these sub-projects while striving to maximise their benefits for local populations and the environment.
