The training module for professionals in the urban planning, construction and building sector to meet the challenges of the energy transition is part of the Organization’s Francophonie Initiative for Sustainable Cities in Africa. International Francophonie (OIF) through its subsidiary organ the Institute of Francophonie for Sustainable Development (IFDD), and its partners.
It is produced at the initiative of the IFDD and the African School of the Trades of Architecture and Urbanism (EAMAU) in partnership with the association ENERGIES 2050.
The participants are in priority:
- urban planning professionals;
- construction and building professionals (architects, town planners, urban managers …);
- professionals from other core professions related to the built environment (engineers, developers, sociologists, lawyers …).
The participants also come from training structures working on the same themes (teaching staff and EAMAU Master’s students and other schools working on the same themes).
The participants also come from institutions and public administrations, elected representatives of local governments and industrialists concerned with the built environment and energy, as well as with policies and mechanisms for implementation. Without being limiting, we can mention:
- public administrations (ministries of housing, town planning, energy, planning, economy and finance, environment, …);
- specialized public institutions and bodies (environmental agencies, etc.);
- regional economic communities (AU, ECOWAS, ECCAS, CEMAC, UEMOA …);
- national and regional development banks (ADB, BOAD, BDEAC) as well as central banks (BCEAO, BEAC);
- industrialists, contractors and design offices in the field of construction, planning and urban management;
- professional associations, chambers of industry and commerce;
- non-governmental organizations …
In order to balance the promotions, the candidates were selected on the basis of their sector of activity, the motivation and relevance of their file by the IFDD and the EAMAU.

It is a question of giving these professionals the keys to understand and take into account the issues of the energy transition (universal and equitable access to energy services, reduction of the risks of climate change by energy sobriety, energy efficiency and energy renewable …) in their trades. The objective is also to identify the strategies, the tools, the techniques and the methods of integration of these stakes so that each one can adapt its professional practices accordingly and act in favor of the improvement of the living environment in the setting to live better together in a sustainable environment.
