Description
1) Objective
The Private Financing Advisory Network is a global network of climate and clean energy financing experts, which offers free business coaching and investment facilitation to entrepreneurs developing climate and clean energy projects in emerging markets. Their goals are to build clean energy markets one business at a time, mitigate climate change and mobilise private investment in support of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the Sustainable Development Goals. Initiated by the UNFCCC and the Climate Technology Initiative (CTI) in 2006, PFAN is hosted jointly by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP).
To be eligible for PFAN support, your project or business must:
- provide climate change adaptation benefits and/or
- offer or use clean energy technologies, products or services that fall within their areas of work.

3) Location
Actions must take place in: Sub-Saharan Africa, Central, South and Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, Eastern Europe, Central America and the Caribbean Islands.
4) Budget

It is important to note that PFAN does not provide funding, but offers coaching to entrepreneurs to support them in finding investors for their projects. PFAN does not directly fund projects.
5) Application
All submissions are to be made online through PFAN’s Climate-Invest Management system. Applications are accepted on a continuous basis, and you may submit your application at any time. Periodically, they may announce deadlines for submissions eligible for participation in specific Investment Forums.
