What is the Marrakech Task Force on Cooperation with Africa?
The Marrakech Process is a global multi-stakeholder process to promote SCP and to work towards a ‘global framework for action on SCP’, the so-called 10-Year Framework of Programmes (10-YFP) on SCP. The Marrakech Task Force on Cooperation with Africa is part of the Marrakech Process, which aims to build cooperation between developing and developed countries and to implement concrete SCP projects at regional and national levels. The Task Force on Cooperation with Africa, led by Germany and the Secretariat of the African Roundtable on SCP, seeks to develop and support projects for implementing SCP methods in Africa, to support the integration and mainstreaming of environmental education in African schools and universities, and to promote sustainable procurement by governmental organizations through training courses and raising awareness. It also aims to integrate or link SCP in new programmes or with existing plans such as Poverty Reduction Strategies and the Millennium Development Goals
