DFCD Origination Facility
Are you in the Forestry, Agriculture, Water and Sanitation Hygiene, and Environmental Protection sector? Apply today for the Dutch Fund For Climate and Development Originality Facility.
Managed by the World Wide Fund for Nature Netherlands (WWF-NL) and SNV, a global development partner, collectively, the Origination Facility identifies promising climate-focused projects in vulnerable countries throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America and helps them develop into scalable, bankable solutions.
It supports companies in the following high-impact sectors:
Forestry, Agriculture, Water and Sanitation Hygiene, and Environmental Protection.
Origination Facility funding helps these projects become viable investment cases for the two DFCD Investment Facilities, or other third-party investors.
In doing so, the Origination Facility helps to address the financing gap that stands in the way of reaching global climate and biodiversity goals.
