Description
The Programme will fund investments into projects in agriculture, forestry, ecological systems, with a possible renewable energy component. Investments under the Programme will tackle climate adaptation and/or climate mitigation.
Moreover, the Programme will improve the prospects of vulnerable groups such as women, youth, and smallholder farmers, as well as improve the resilience of vulnerable ecosystems in least developed and fragile countries. As such, it will scale the number of new climate-relevant investments initiated and led by local MSMEs, helping our partner countries achieve the SDGs.
How can businesses and investors get involved?
If you are a business representative or an investor looking to invest in MSMEs in fragile states or least-developed countries for example, we recommend getting in touch with DFCD.
