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).

It is expected that USD 2.8 trillion will be needed between 2020 and 2030 for Africa to implement its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Yet, in 2019 and 2020, Africa received only 12 to 15 per cent of the required investments for climate action. The share of private climate finance in total climate finance is relatively lower than in any other emerging market globally. The main risks that deter investors from committing to African private equity include the perception of a weak exit window, currency risk, a less attractive risk/return profile than other markets, and political risk.

GCF’s equity investment in NVIIII, a USD 200 million venture capital fund, will mobilise funding for African climate ventures. The venture fund aims to support early and growth-stage companies that promote a clean, inclusive, and sustainable development path for Africa. Investments will be channelled into companies focused on three main themes: services that enable adaptation and resilience; clean technology for decarbonising economic growth; and innovative climate technology for natural resources.

Focusing on Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, and Egypt, this initiative aims to scale affordable climate solutions from other markets. Each of these countries has a large climate-vulnerable population, making it essential to provide capital for companies in these areas to scale up investments in mitigation and adaptation. Through successful investments, NVIII seeks to establish a strong climate-tech innovation ecosystem by engaging key stakeholders and mobilising private sector capital.

SURAGGWA’s objective is to enhance ecological and climate resilience across Burkina Faso, Chad, Djibouti, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal, while substantially increasing carbon sequestration through landscape restoration.

The Sahelian countries within the Great Green Wall (GGW) region are among the poorest and most vulnerable to climate change. Their economies largely depend on agriculture, livestock, and forestry, with over 70 per cent of rural communities reliant on rainfed agriculture. Climate change further exacerbates ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss, and the vulnerability of agro-silvopastoral landscapes, threatening food security and the sustainability of local livelihoods.

The programme will restore degraded agro-silvo-pastoral landscapes to build climate resilience and mitigation capacities, develop climate-resilient, low-emission Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP) value chains to enhance market access and financial inclusion for vulnerable communities, and strengthen GGW institutions to improve coordination, monitoring, resource mobilisation, and knowledge management

The programme supports the African Union-led Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative by enhancing ecological and climate resilience. It contributes to the GGW goals of restoring 100 million hectares of degraded land, creating 10 million new jobs and sequestering 250 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030 through large-scale land restoration efforts.

<p>The project objective is to increase the resilience of the population in the Lake Chad Basin by enhancing the countries capability to manage and adapt to climate-related risks through improvement of hydrological monitoring, data systems and service delivery and awareness on climate-related hazards. the specific outputs of the project are mainly aimed at (i) building an effective water information system, (ii) improving meteorological and hydrological products and services, (iii) training and informing vulnerable communities on emerging risks, (iv) strengthening the technical and institutional capacities of the national services involved in the project activities (v) dissemination and facilitation of access to relevant products, services and tools for water resources management, and their use for the protection of human lives, livelihoods and the environment from water-related hazards, and (vi) strengthening of regional and global cooperation through improved knowledge management on Lake Chad and its tributaries in order to provide appropriate climatic and hydrometeorological services.</p>
