Project Preparation Facility in Cuba

The aim of the facility imlpemented by AFD is to finance activities such as feasibility or pre-feasibility studies relating to investment projects likely to be financed by International Financial Institutions in Cuba. The expertise provided can consist of specific sector support (in the field of energy, transport, water, etc.) or technical assistance in order to improve the compliance of the investment projects with international standards in environmental, social, gender or climate issues. Selected projects are agreed with the Cuban Government according to its priorities, in particular in the sectors of energy, water and sanitation, urban rehabilitation, agriculture and transportation, and are likely to be bankable. All projects have an expected positive contribution to the country’s adaptation to climate change or to the reduction of GHG emissions.
