Climate Finance Pathfinder

The Climate Finance Pathfinder (CFP) is designed to assist low- and lower middle-income countries to develop strategies for accessing finance for projects related to their NDCs and other low-carbon and development policies. The process involves a detailed mapping in each country, including of climate finance priorities and sources, institutional arrangements, and project case studies, leading to recommendations on what steps that country might take to attract increased climate finance flows, especially of private and concessional finance. The CFP also aims to identify initial potential project pipelines in key sectors identified within the country’s NDC. The Climate Finance Pathfinder has been developed by and is implemented by a team of international climate finance experts, in collaboration with local partners. Initial pilot assessments are being undertaken in Ethiopia and Uganda, through funding from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF).
