SNV Netherlands Development Organisation

SNV is a not-for-profit international development organization. Founded in the Netherlands over 55 years ago, we have built a long-term, local presence in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Our advisors work with local partners to equip communities, businesses, and organizations with the tools, knowledge, and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access to basic services. SNV works to empower people to break the cycle of poverty. SNV provides innovative solutions in Agriculture, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, and Renewable Energy in around 24 countries worldwide. For more information, please refer to our website: www.snv.org

The Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD)

The Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD) will (i) provide finance and Technical Assistance (TA) to business case projects with a focus on climate change adaptation; (ii) mobilize external private sector funding at scale; and (iii) align directly with DFCD Theory of Change (ToC). A substantial allocation of investments will be reserved for OECD DAC Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and other Netherlands development cooperation priority countries (collectively, 'the focus countries'). Investments made by the consortium parties will seek to improve the wellbeing, economic prospects, and livelihoods of vulnerable groups – particularly women and children – and enhance the health of critical ecosystems – from water basins to rivers, tropical rainforests, marshland, and mangroves. The consortium's activities will also help protect communities and cities from the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and benefit depleting biodiversity in areas that provide people with water, food, medicine, and economic opportunity.

SNV is part of the Origination Facility (OF) which is collectively managed with WWF-NL. The OF will work with companies (sponsors) to turn initial ideas into bankable business cases. A lack of early-stage project preparation has been repeatedly recognised as a critical barrier to increasing investment flows. For private sector adaptation challenges are often particularly acute for their core business, as understanding of climate risks is limited and there is a need for working closely with potential project developers. The facility will support projects to the stage where they can then be picked up at low transaction cost by either of the DFCD water or land use investment facilities or undertaken by others.  This support consists of technical assistance accompanied with development funding up to EUR 350K.
