The Window aims to leverage its catalytic resources to mobilise at least EUR 100 million in private investment for adaptation and resilience outcomes across the continent. Investment managers can submit concepts for adaptation-focused investment vehicles now by 15 January, 2026 at afwafrica.com.

AFWA aims to demonstrate how catalytic capital can unlock investment, strengthen local markets, and accelerate investment in adaptation in the most climate-vulnerable regions in Africa. The Window is implemented under IMCA, which coordinates funding efforts and develops blended finance solutions that combine public and private capital to reduce risk and mobilise investment in emerging and developing markets. IMCA’s members include the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Iceland and NDF.

“At NDF, we believe it is critical to accelerate financing in response to the immense demands for adaptation and resilience in Africa. We look forward to using our flexible financing instruments to catalyse investments through this RFP,” says Satu Santala, Managing Director of NDF.
