Africa Climate Change Fund: supporting Africa countries to access international climate finance - 2017
The Africa Climate Change Fund (ACCF) supports African countries in building their resilience to the negative impacts of climate change and transitioning to sustainable low-carbon growth. Established in 2014 as a bilateral thematic trust fund with an initial contribution of EUR 4.725 million from Germany, the ACCF was converted to a multi-donor trust fund in early 2017 with new contributions of EUR4.7 million from Italy and EUR 2 million from Flanders, Belgium. It is hosted and managed by the Climate Change and Green Growth Department of the African Development Bank (AfDB), and implemented in collaboration with other Bank departments.
