The CFA is funded by UK Government’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), under the
International Climate Finance (ICF) portfolio, as part of the UK Government's £11.6 billion commitment to
support ODA-eligible countries to respond to the challenges and opportunities of climate change.
Since November 2020, under the current £12.4m phase of the programme, the CFA has supported
around 200 projects across ten countries. Thirty of these projects have since progressed to close deals

DESNZ is currently procuring a second phase of the programme to support at least 800 projects across
16 countries (Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru,
the Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, Türkiye, and Viet Nam) until December 2029.
The programme is supported by an independent advisor whose primary responsibilities are to:
- Provide expert advice on market maturity for CFA countries, availability of bankable projects, and
suitability of the enabling environment
to inform country selection process.
- Provide strategic guidance to in-country processes and wider programme implementation.
- Facilitate links to relevant financiers, helping secure participation at events.

- Participate in the CFA Advisory Board.
