Description
1) Objective
Through its annual competitive Calls for Projects, Mitigation Action Facility strives to shift priority sectors towards a carbon-neutral development pathway. Projects funded by the Mitigation Action Facility support partner countries in implementing their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Long-Term Strategies (LTSs). Funding is used to develop financial mechanisms and deliver technical assistance to tackle wider policy, regulatory or other barriers that inhibit investment and constrain carbon-neutral development.
The most ambitious and feasible climate change mitigation projects are selected for funding support through a comprehensive process including the following phases: Concept Phase; Detailed Preparation Phase (DPP); and Implementation Phase. The focus is on three priority sectors – energy, transport, and industry – while also supporting cross-sectoral projects linked to one of these priority sectors.
2) Eligibility
Eligible applicants are (i) a national ministry, or (ii) a legal entity (e.g., governmental agency, development bank, NGO, INGO, private financial institution, commercial company, foundation).
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide in OECD DAC countries.
4) Budget
The overall funding volume of the Call is up to EUR 100 million, the maximum funding per project is up to EUR 5-25 million.
5) Application
The call for project ideas is open until 25 February 2026.
