Description
1) Objective
The Dutch Fund for Climate and Development allows for investments in projects aimed at climate adaptation and prevention in developing countries. It seeks to improve the wellbeing, economic prospects, and livelihoods of vulnerable groups – particularly women and youth – and enhance the health of critical ecosystems, from river basins to tropical rainforests, marshland, and mangroves. The consortium’s activities will also help protect communities and cities from the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and benefit weakening biodiversity in areas that provide people with water, food, medicine, and economic opportunity.
The fund will be focusing on several high impact investment themes, including climate-resilient water systems and freshwater ecosystems, forestry, climate-smart agriculture, and restoration of ecosystems to protect the environment. The fund will be structured with three separate but operationally linked facilities, each with a specific sub-sector focus and role across the project lifecycle.
- The Origination Facility is responsible for project identification and feasibility activities across a range of sectors; it is co-managed by WWF and SNV.
- The Investment Facilities target projects which have “graduated” from the Origination Facility. Each has its own focus: Water projects are managed by CFM, while Land Use projects are managed by FMO.

3) Location
