World Bank Group
Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria
Sustainable environment and natural resources management (ENRM) is at the heart of the World Bank Group’s (WBG) poverty agenda. Biodiversity and natural resources constitute the social safety net of the poor, representing a food bank and often their only source of livelihood. Sustainable ENRM promotes a green clean, and resilient world where natural resources - from forests to fisheries, freshwater, oceans, coastal zones and ecosystems - are managed to support livelihoods and strong economies. Sustainable ENRM builds a world better prepared for shocks and global challenges, helping countries limit their exposure to resource scarcity, more-volatile weather patterns, and the long-term consequences of climate change. The Environment and Natural Resources Global Practice (GENDR) of the World Bank has been set up to deliver on the opportunities, benefits and outcomes offered by enhanced management of the environment and natural resources. The ENR GP has close to 300 operations under management, representing $7 billion, and a growing pipeline of new investments under active development. ENRM activities in Sub-Saharan Africa represent a substantial part of the ENR GP Portfolio. Sub-Saharan Africa, with a population of around 875 million people in 47 countries, is home to 36 of the world’s poorest countries. Making headway against poverty in sub-Saharan Africa continues to present the world with its most formidable development challenge. GENDR covers the following business lines:
GREEN: Forests, Watersheds & Sustainable Landscapes - managing renewable natural capital across landscapes;
BLUE: Marine, Coastal & Aquatic Resources - unlocking the wealth of marine, coastal and fresh water economies;
BROWN: Pollution Management & Environmental Health - reducing pollution to improve environmental conditions;
Clean and Resilient Growth: - fostering economics and institutions for sustainable and sustained growth; and
Environmental Risk Management & Sustainability: Managing risks and creating opportunity to advice sustainable development, also known as environmental safeguards.
Within GENDR, two units cover these business lines in the Sub-Saharan Region. One unit covers West and Central Africa and the Indian Ocean islands (GEN07) and the other one covers Eastern and Southern Africa (GEN01). Specifically, these two units develop and manage operations and analytical work in a variety of areas such as forestry, biodiversity, watershed management, fisheries, coastal zone management, pollution management, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. In addition, these units provide environmental safeguards services to operations funded by the World Bank across all sectors. Considering that most of the projects carry environmental and social impacts, these units are also tasked with ensuring that environmental safeguards are addressed in an efficient and credible manner. GEN07 supports national and local governments and communities to improve sustainable management of natural resources and improve preparedness to natural disasters in 26 countries grouped in the following seven Country Management Units: Cabo Verde, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Senegal (AFCF1); Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo (AFCF2); Guinea, Mali, Niger, Chad (AFCW3); Nigeria (AFCW2); Angola, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Sao Tome and Principe (AFCC1); Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic (AFCC2); Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles (AFCS2). In Nigeria, GEN07 supports a large portfolio of projects across development sectors through environmental safeguards services, as well as several own-managed operations in the GENDR business lines. One of these operations, and by far the largest, is the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) financed by the International Development Association (IDA), Global Environment Facility (GEF) and Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF). The Bank is also supervising the PMEH-funded Lagos Multi-Pollutant Management and Environmental Health Program, the REDD+ readiness grant from the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF), and preparing other operations.
