Call for Proposals
The Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) supports low-carbon entrepreneurs to get their businesses and projects ready for investment. It then connects them with the investors who can help them grow. Funded by the UK Government, the CFA provides hands-on technical support and creates structured opportunities for entrepreneurs, developers, financiers, and public partners to work together to unlock climate finance where it is most needed.
The CFA is a practical, deal-oriented programme designed to support businesses and project proponents working on climate mitigation solutions to strengthen their investment cases, sharpen their capital-raising strategies, and engage lenders and investors with greater confidence and credibility. The programme prioritises opportunities above the USD 3M+ range, but we will also consider businesses raising USD 1-3M where there is strong impact potential.
How to apply
CFA Kenya is open for applications from climate businesses and projects seeking support in accessing finance until 11th March.
The application and submission requirements can be accessed by clicking ‘Apply to Join CFA’ at the top of this page. Please note that the application process is not designed to select the most developed or complete projects, but rather those aligned with the CFA’s objective of supporting climate projects that advance Kenya’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Projects that meet the criteria above are strongly encouraged to apply.
When submitting your proposal, we will require some personal details, such as name, email address, and phone number for the main contact(s). These details will be used solely for communication regarding the proposal. We expect to respond to applications within four weeks of the call for applications deadline and may request additional information during this period.
Your application will be treated as confidential. It will not be reproduced in any form or by any means, disclosed to others or used for any purpose other than for consideration under the CFA.
