Appolinaire D. GNANVI
Directeur Général du FNEC — Fonds National pour l'Environnement et le Climat (FNEC)
Dr. Appolinaire D. GNANVI coordinates the processes that led to the accreditation of the FNEC (National Fund for Climate Change) with the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the Adaptation Fund (AF), and to the approval of its fiduciary, environmental, and social standards by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN), as well as by other bilateral partners. In doing so, he contributes to strengthening national capacities for accessing climate action financing and mobilizing resources through the approval of innovative and climate-compatible structuring projects. A Senior Lecturer at CAMES universities, specializing in Environmental Sociology, he places sustainable development at the heart of his research, teaching, and scholarly output. He has published over thirty scientific articles in national, regional, and international journals.
