The Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD) is a climate resilience fund, dedicated to supporting climate adaptation and mitigation projects which benefit vulnerable communities and landscapes.
We are funded by the Dutch government and powered by a consortium of expert organisations: FMO (Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank), CFM (Climate Fund Managers), SNV, a global development partner, and WWF Netherlands.
To curb the effects of climate change, substantial funding should be injected in solid business solutions advancing climate adaptation. However, these solutions are rare and when they exist, they lack adequate support.
We provide access to finance for promising early-stage initiatives, helping them to develop and grow into scalable projects that are resilient to the effects of climate change.
To maximise potential for investment, we first seek to de-risk the projects through our Origination Facility, building their capacity to grow with financial (including debt and equity) and technical assistance.
Our Origination Facility is responsible for project identification and feasibility activities across a range of sectors; it is co-managed by WWF and SNV.
Our 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.
Our consortium works with projects across Africa, Asia and Latin America, in communities and ecosystems that are some of the most vulnerable to climate change.
We seek to forge deep relationships with projects in these regions, actively sourcing and developing private sector investment opportunities following a landscape approach.
We seek to improve the wellbeing and prospects of vulnerable groups and the health of critical ecosystems such as river basins, tropical rainforests, marshlands, and mangroves.
As a consortium of expert organisations, we aim to serve as an example of institutional partnerships attracting and deploying capital for scalable climate solutions.
We provide financial and dedicated technical assistance with a focus on climate change adaptation, mobilising private sector funding through the Origination, Water, and Land Use Facilities.
We operate across Asia, Africa, and Latin America following a landscape approach. A substantial share of the investments is allocated to Least Developed Countries (LDC's).
