Piano Mattei: casi di successi da scalare e criticità da risolvere. Un dialogo tra istituzioni, società civile e settore privato.Presented by AVSI10:00 - 11:30 | Codeway Plenary
For decades, Italy has been realizing short-, medium and long-term projects and programs to promote development in Africa. These projects work as long as they are based on an equal partnership and carried out with a multistakeholder approach. It is from these success cases we need to start to successfully implement the Mattei Plan. To do so, we have to operate along two lines: on the one hand, we need to analyze the elements of success that characterize these projects, to verify if it is possible to scale or replicate them in other contexts and proportions. On the other hand, we must identify what the critical issues and objective difficulties are, to try and find concrete innovative solutions.For this reason, the event organized by AVSI at Codeway is divided into three parts. The first one will present several success cases in different areas, followed by a commentary of the Director of the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) in a discussion that that will help understand what lessons can be learned from the field. The second panel focuses on the Italian Climate Fund as an emblematic example of significant funds to be enhanced. The third part invites institutional representatives to discuss what emerged from the previous panels, to conclude the event with new proposals and operative solutions.Welcome greetingsStefano Gatti, Director DGCS Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International CooperationSuccess cases to studyEducation, with Bamba Lassiné, Côte d’Ivoire Country Representative, Fondazione AVSIEnergy, with Luca Traini, South-Saharan Africa Area and Access to Energy Program Director, Res4AfricaAgriculture, with Dario De Nicola, Project Office, CEFARefugees, with Chiara Cardoletti, UNHCR representative for Italy, the Vatican and San MarinoProspects for the Italian Cooperation, with Marco Riccardo Rusconi, Director, AICSModerated by Maria Laura Conte, Head of Strategic Communication and Advocacy, AVSIResources to be valorised: the Italian Climate FundPaolo Lombardo, Director International Cooperation and Finance for Sviluppo, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP)Francesco Corvaro, Inviato Speciale per il Cambiamento climatico (online)Rita Ricciardi, Structured Finance Specialist, Bergs&More, NairobiModerated by Alessandro Galimberti, Head of Climate Change, Energy and Environment Unit, AVSIA dialogue among Italian, European and African institutions:Jacqueline Lydia Mykolo, Minister SMEs and Handicraft Enterprises, Republic of the Congo (online) Repubblica del Congo (online)Mariatou Koné, Ministra dell’Educazione Nazionale e dell’Alfabetizzazione, Costa D’Avorio (online)Laura Atienza Urcelay, Head of Sector, DG INTPA, European Commission*Moses Uyang, Community Engagements Lead, Office of the African Union Chairperson’s Youth EnvoyFabio Massimo Ballerini, Sub-Saharan Africa Advisor, Office of the Diplomatic Advisor to the President of the Council of Ministers, ItalyModerates: Giampaolo Silvestri, Secretary General, AVSI
