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.

This project scales up access to climate finance in low- and middle-income countries by developing green bond markets that mobilize investment in low-emission development. It supports GCF’s strategic goal of mobilizing private finance through innovative, market-based instruments.

Scaling low-emission development in the participating countries is constrained by limited capital, underdeveloped financial ecosystems, and few instruments to attract private investment. These countries also face acute climate vulnerability and mounting risks to their economic and social systems. Strengthening local capital markets is essential to bridge financing gaps and channel resources toward mitigation priorities.

The project aims to mobilise climate finance in low- and middle-income countries by supporting the development of local green bond markets. Through a dedicated investment fund, capital from development finance institutions and private investors will be used to finance climate mitigation projects, while parallel EU-led facilities support capacity-building and lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.

 GCF will invest EUR 200 million (approximately USD 227 million) in equity through the initiative’s fund to support mitigation projects across ten participating countries. The project will prioritise small-scale, low-carbon energy systems and create investment opportunities in hard-to-abate sectors such as transport, helping to channel private capital toward national decarbonisation efforts.
