We invite you to register for our market engagement webinar to find out how you can apply for grant funding for the Green Finance Call for Proposals, within the Amazon Regional Fund under the UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerating Climate Transitions) programme. Organisations are invited to bring all their enquiries to this event for discussion.
Who is this event for?
We invite all organisations with relevant experience in delivering technical assistance and capacity-building projects in the agriculture, forestry, and other land use sector to register. This could be think-tanks, consultancies, academic institutions, community organisations, NGOs, professional associations, or any similar organisations that have the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver an eligible project.
Proposals from private sector entities are welcome, however government agencies and government departments are not eligible to receive UK PACT funding.
What are we looking for?
Through this Call for Proposals, UK PACT seeks to catalyse investments aligned with national climate goals by supporting the design and structuring of green projects. These could include clean energy, sustainable agriculture, nature-based solutions, and biodiversity-friendly business models that address the financing gap and boost inclusive, sustainable transitions in Amazon regions while explicitly tackling gender-based and structural barriers to financial access, participation and benefit-sharing among women, Indigenous Peoples, people with disabilities, youth and other marginalised communities and groups.
Following bespoke engagement with government counterparts, non-government organisations (NGOs), civil society, and the private sector it is expected that projects under UK PACT contribute to expand and secure access to green finance in two areas of intervention:
- Support the development of sustainable finance in Bolivia: generating the enabling conditions for increasing capital flows towards a successful transition to a low carbon economy in line with country’s NDC.
- Promoting linkages and fostering ecosystem for bioeconomy value chains in the Peruvian Amazon: enabling them to access finance, reach markets, and validate bio-based solutions through last-mile implementation (scaling). This includes building a pipeline of viable projects ready for investment and promoting a shared political instrument and joint vision for the bioeconomy, with clearly prioritised sectors to guide and sustain the growth process.
