The Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) is a global technical assistance programme funded by the UK government to directly support climate projects to access finance. The CFA operates in eight countries (Nigeria, Colombia, South Africa, Türkiye, Mexico, Peru, Pakistan and Egypt) with the aim of encouraging the flows of finance required to deliver on countries’ ambition to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

In Egypt, the CFA brings together the key actors in the climate finance investment chain: project proponents and developers, finance providers, and policymakers.

The Climate Finance Accelerator offers a range of capacity building support to assist climate mitigation projects in accessing finance. By engaging with the CFA programme, project developers can benefit from:

• Access to investors

• Coaching and best practice insights

• Networking opportunities

• Increased visibility

• Support to achieve low carbon project objectives

Candidate projects should:

• Be designed to achieve measurable climate outcomes in terms of direct or facilitated greenhouse gas emission reductions.

• Have a minimum total financing need of US$1M. Smaller projects may be considered in certain circumstances. Funds or similar structures consisting of multiple smaller projects are also welcomed.

• Be (at least) at the pre-feasibility stage of development.

• Have a business model that will generate commercially viable returns in the long-term (although some element of concessional financing may be required initially).

• Projects that can demonstrate positive social impacts and how they contribute to furthering gender equality and social inclusion are strongly encouraged.
