This report reviews the collaboration
between the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) and the
African states. Since 1991 GEF has financed 425 projects to
address global environmental problems through sustainable
development in more than 50 African countries. This report
specifically reviews the GEF's works with African
countries on key natural resource issues : land degradation,
forests, fresh water resources, marine and coastal areas,
energy, and persistent organics pollutants. Readers will
