522522 Mr. El Hadji Beye supports firms struggling to meet their net -zero goals
523523 and impact nature-based CO2 offsetting projects. His goal is to bridge
524524 the gap in funding by pairing projects with latent capital. By reaching
525525 out to corporate philanthropy, M ultilateral Development Banks, and
526526 climate finance to route this blended finance approach towards relevant
527527 climate adaptation projects in Africa, which catalyzes decarbonization
528528 as a rural development engine.
529529 Supported by 25 years of global project management, monitoring,
530530 tracking, reporting, and engineering with projects up to half a billion
531531 dollars in over 21 countries, Mr. Beye has leveraged his technical
532532 acumen and passion for better outcomes to deliver for his clients. His core competencies include
533533 partner identification, due diligence, relationship building, cost control, data validation, funding,
534534 legal, cost analysis, design, risk analysis, value engineering, bidding, mobilization, and
535535 commissioning.
536536 Mr. Beye also bridge s the gap between entities looking to remotely acquire real estate in West
537537 Africa and services required to close the deal. Whether an NGO planning to build a school or clinic
538538 abroad, an entity looking for agricultural land overseas, or an immigrant with a burning desire to
539539 go back home, he aims to provide logistical support to determine the attractiveness of markets and
540540 site options available.
541541 A Ward 4 resident, Mr. Beye earned his Associate of Science in Civil Engineering from Cheikh
542542 Anta Diop de Dakar University, his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Technology from
