As one of the leading Development Finance Institutions in Africa, DBSA consistently commits itself to drive efforts which accelerate inclusive development on the African continent by expanding access to development finance. Acquired finance is used to implement integrated and sustainable infrastructure developments more effectively. To ensure that DBSA achieves this goal, they have adopted a strategy that prioritises financial sustainability and strong governance, while accelerating and enhancing development impact. The intent is to mobilise infrastructure development with the purpose of delivering socio-economic growth that is shared and equitable for African countries. At the core of their strategy lies a programmatic approach, which allows them to solve pressing socio-economic challenges at scale and push the implementation in accordance with the government’s policies and procedures.
The Global Environment Facility was established on the eve of the Rio Earth Summit to tackle our planet’s most pressing environmental problems. The GEF is the largest multilateral trust fund focused on enabling developing countries to invest in nature, and supports the implementation of major international environmental conventions including on biodiversity, climate change, chemicals, and desertification. It brings together 184 member governments in addition to civil society, international organisations, and private sector partners. Through its Small Grants Programme, the GEF has provided support to more than 26,000 civil society and community initiatives in 135 countries.
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) – a critical element of the historic Paris Agreement - is the world’s largest climate fund, mandated to support developing countries raise and realise their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) ambitions towards low-emissions, climate-resilient pathways.
The aim of the GOF is to incentivise local fund managers to use new approaches and financing models to target high potential and fast-growing SMMEs operating in South Africa’s green economy. The funding will enable lending and investment to SMMEs which would not be feasible without the GOF’s support.
The GOF blends concessionary funding with private capital, thus enabling participating Catalytic Finance Partners (CFPs) to develop and adapt their SMME investment criteria and support services in ways that were not previously possible – realising greater impact in terms of the types of SMMEs funded and green outcomes created.
