Who can Apply?
The AFCIA will provide developing countries with special opportunities for innovation in adaptation. Please note that UNDP and UNEP-CTCN have different eligibility for supporting developing countries in the AFCIA.
• (UNDP) The programme is open to Not-for-profit, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) including Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Business Member Association (BMO), other Association, Cooperative, Community Based Organizations registered in a developing country.
• (UNEP-CTCN) The eligible countries in the programme include Non-Annex I Parties in Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America and Caribbean under the UNFCCC that do not have National Implementing Entities (NIEs) accredited with the Adaptation Fund (114 countries in total as of 26 June 2020).
For developing countries with the Adaptation Fund’s accredited NIEs, the Adaptation Fund provides a recently launched innovation grant funding window, and more information can be found by clicking here. Please note that an applicant cannot submit the same application to both UNDP and UNEP-CTCN. As administrators of the AFCIA, UNDP and UNEP-CTCN will cross check applications to ensure there is no duplication.
