In Côte d'Ivoire, climate change hazards have increased vulnerability of the country’s staple food systems across five central regions – N'Zi, Moronou, Iffou, La Mé, and Gbêkê. Rising temperatures, rainfall variability, droughts, floods, and climate-induced pest pressure are intensifying in areas weakened by decades of cocoa-driven deforestation. The impact of these hazards is compounded by underfinancing of the rice, cassava, and yam value chains, even as a projected decline in crop production threatens over half a million livelihoods in a sector that employs 48 percent of the population.To address these challenges, the LARACI project will drive a shift to climate-smart agriculture through three components: strengthen the enabling environment for climate-resilient agriculture through agrometeorological advisory services, stronger regulations, and improved access to climate-aligned finance; reduce emissions and enhance soil carbon sequestration through agroforestry and sustainable land management; and scale climate-smart practices and technologies across the rice, cassava, and yam value chains, with targeted support for women and youth.The project is expected to benefit around 147,000 people directly and 441,000 indirectly, enabling large-scale adoption of climate-smart agriculture, while embedding capacity within national institutions. It is also projected to deliver emission reductions of 606,212 tCO₂eq over the five-year implementation period, and around 3.8 million tCO₂eq over a twenty-year lifespan. Its alignment with national priorities and integration into national systems reinforce country ownership and sustainability beyond the project period.Implemented by CGIAR, as its first GCF-funded investment, with national executing entities including FIRCA, a GCF Direct Access Entity, and AfricaRice, the project advances GCF's emphasis on transformative systems change, and its strategic priorities on resilient agriculture, food security, and ecosystems.

Cocoa and coffee are climate-sensitive commodities cultivated by smallholder farmers across Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Ghana, Guatemala, Nigeria, Peru, Rwanda, and Uganda. They face increasing risks from climate variability, land degradation, and tightening regulatory requirements. Pre-harvest finance remains structurally underprovided, as commercial lenders rarely extend unsecured credit in rural emerging markets, while cooperatives and exporters lack the financial resources to support farmers year-round. Climate finance has typically prioritised large infrastructure programmes rather than value chain operations, leaving a persistent gap.The FSF ACCT programme scales sustainability-linked working capital and technical assistance for enterprises operating in cocoa and coffee landscapes across the ten countries, building on a strategy tested through the Food Securities Fund (FSF). It provides short-term renewable working capital loans to midstream enterprises sourcing from smallholder farmers, paired with targeted technical assistance on climate-smart practices, traceability, and gender inclusion.The programme is structured around two components: an investment facility providing working capital loans linked to annual environmental and social due diligence; and a technical assistance facility supporting borrowers across environmental, social, and business resilience themes. Demand-side actors, including large multinational agribusinesses, provide additional risk mitigation through guarantees at the sub-project level.The programme was developed under GCF's Project-specific Assessment Approach (PSAA).

Accelerate the adoption, scale-up, and investment in Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for cooling and addressing extreme heat.

The project aims to support four countries: - Burundi, CAR, Côte d’Ivoire, and Turkmenistan to each prepare and submit Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) and combined Biennial Transparency Report / National Communication (BTR/NCs) that will comply with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement (PA) reporting requirements, while responding to national development goals.
