The GFCS ACP Africa Grant preparation meeting was held on 18-20 December 2017 in Nairobi, Kenya. The meeting advised the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the AGRHYMET Regional Centre (a specialized agency of the Permanent Inter-State Committee against Drought in the Sahel - CILSS) to put in place a consultation process to ensure that the inputs from the regional economic commissions are fully included in the draft Grant. The regions indicated their thematic priorities and the meeting noted that agriculture (food security) and disaster risk reduction are selected as priority in all regions. The meeting identified common areas of need with regards to infrastructure, capacity building and user interface. In addition, tailoring of additional activities will be done based on specific user needs for the regions/countries. The meeting agreed on the timeline for grant preparation with a view of submitting the final proposal in May 2018.
