Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA)

The Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) is a four-year technical assistance programme, funded by the UK Government's International Climate Finance in the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). It responds directly to the urgency and scale of the climate crisis by supporting highly promising low-carbon projects to become more bankable and appealing to investors. The CFA addresses the challenges involved in attracting climate finance to where it is most needed by bringing together stakeholders that can develop and finance climate projects at scale. By doing this it helps countries to meet their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) pledges under the Paris Agreement. CFA projects receive capacity building support in areas such as low-carbon technology, blending finance from public and private sources, as well as advice on enhancing gender, equality and social inclusion. The programme currently operates in Colombia, Egypt, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, South Africa, Turkiye, Uganda and Viet Nam. Local delivery partners manage the programme and shape the CFA so that it’s tailored to each country, supported by a UK-based core delivery team. It is intended that a sustainable CFA process will be established in each participating country to generate a ongoing pipeline of low-carbon projects. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This page is an output from a project funded by the UK government.
