- The contract is for a global delivery partner for the Climate Finance Accelerator 2 (CFA 2) to manage, oversee and deliver the programme. The programme will provide technical support to eligible projects. CFA 2 aims to increase the flow of predominantly private sector climate finance to support low-carbon climate resilient projects with sustainable development benefits and, in doing so, support the implementation of supported countries’ climate mitigation efforts. To meet this objective, the CFA 2 delivery partner will develop a high-volume pipeline of bankable projects in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs) that dovetail with upstream progress (e.g. policy/regulatory reform) to enable the investment environment. Working closely with investors, CFA 2 will increase investor interest and appetite to engage with and invest in low-carbon projects in supported countries.
