This activity report presents examples where the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has been used in particularly successful ways to mobilise financial resources for carbon-reduction projects, while promoting sustainability in local communities in different countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. These examples of local best practice serve as a repository of what has worked well in the past and consequently serve to encourage financiers, project developers and regulators to continue harnessing CDM potentials in the future. At the same time, this study aims to provide a first and broad introduction to the CDM to commercial banks in the region not yet familiar with it.
