USAID has launched the Climate Finance Investment Network (CFIN) which is managed by the Climate Finance for Development Accelerator (CFDA), also known as “the Accelerator”. This is a $250 million initiative designed to mobilize $2.5 billion in public and private climate investments by 2030. These investments will fund a range of climate change mitigation and adaptation activities focused on scaling up the transition to an equitable and resilient net-zero economy. The Accelerator is designed to help countries meet their national commitments in alignment with the Paris Agreement.
CFIN will bring together climate finance stakeholders across a diverse set of sectors and emerging and frontier markets to partner with USAID to crowd in private sector climate financing through learning, partnership facilitation, and catalytic grants. The Accelerator also welcomes local partners in the countries in which USAID works to co-create and design initiatives to meet national and local climate goals. If you are interested in joining the CFIN or becoming a climate finance partner eligible to receive support from the Accelerator, please click here to complete our partnership intake form or email us at info_cfda@chemonics.com for more information.
