Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) and the Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to accelerate climate finance action across emerging and developing markets. The partnership will focus on capacity building, strategic convenings and innovative financing solutions.
The organizations will collaborate on climate finance training, institutional investor engagement and stakeholder convenings, initially focusing on countries including Nigeria, Senegal and Ethiopia.
SEforALL and GCFC plan to develop training programmes for financial institutions, combining GCFC’s climate finance innovation and market intelligence with SEforALL’s country networks and implementation experience. They will also explore joint dialogues, roundtables and public forums involving governments, investors and development partners.
The partnership will examine approaches to unlocking new sources of climate finance for energy transition projects and supporting stronger institutions and investment ecosystems.
“Climate finance must move faster, reach further and become more accessible to emerging markets. Through this partnership, we will help strengthen institutions, build local capacity and create practical pathways for mobilizing investment where it can deliver the greatest impact,” said Omar Saif, Vice President of the Global Climate Finance Centre.
“The energy transition is not just about mobilizing more finance. It's about ensuring countries have the right partnerships and tools to turn investment into real progress for people and communities,” said Mikael Melin, Director of Partnerships & Development at SEforALL.
