About the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD)  

The DFCD enables private sector investment in projects aimed at climate adaptation and mitigation in developing countries. The DFCD, managed by a consortium comprising Climate Fund Managers (CFM), World Wide Fund for Nature the Netherlands (WWF-NL), and SNV Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV), and led by the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank (FMO), offers finance and technical assistance to unlock and scale private sector investment in climate-resilient development through two stages: “origination” and “investment”.

The Origination Facility (OF), jointly managed by SNV and WWF, identifies investment opportunities that advance climate change adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable, inclusive development. These opportunities also deliver co-benefits such as environmental protection, poverty reduction, and gender equality. The OF works with private sector partners to further develop these investments by providing technical assistance for project design, feasibility assessments, piloting, and other de-risking activities, enabling projects to mature and qualify for potential DFCD investment.
