The Climate Finance Training programme’s objective is to accelerate access to climate finance in sub-Saharan Africa by developing the in-country capacity of regional policymakers, regulators, academia, and financial market participants. This training program will help grow the knowledge and capabilities of leaders to support the transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy.

The climate finance training programme’s objective is to accelerate access to climate finance in sub-Saharan Africa by developing in-country capacity of regional policymakers, regulators, academia, and financial market participants. A key component of the climate finance training is to provide requisite skills needed to access the Green Climate Fund (GCF) or other climate funds, by exploring accreditation of direct access entities (DAEs), training of key technical sta_ within government and other non-state actors through the provision of project preparation support to assist capital mobilisation for climate-resilient projects within sub-Saharan Africa.

The programme will introduce delegates to the major concepts in public climate finance, and present the challenge of attracting private investment, especially for adaptation, within the African context. It will also provide an overview of the landscape of public and private climate financing opportunities to support the African private sector climate action today.
