South Africa Low Emissions Development Program (SA-LED)

The USAID South Africa Low Emissions Development Program (SA-LED) supported the Government of South Africa’s Green Growth Agenda. SA-LED strengthened the capacity of the public sector to plan, finance, implement, and report on low emissions development projects and to accelerate the adoption of low emissions technologies for a green economy. The program was developed and implemented in partnership with the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) and the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI).
