Funders active in East Africa
415 matching capital sources on the AESFIP database · Last checked October 2026
East Africa has the deepest funder presence on the continent outside South Africa, particularly in off-grid energy, climate-smart agriculture and water. That depth is an advantage and a trap: the same well-known windows are heavily oversubscribed while regional and donor-country facilities go under-used.
These funders have an active mandate covering East Africa, either regionally or as part of a Sub-Saharan or pan-African programme.

- Financing for Agricultural SMEs in Africa (FASA)OtherFASA (or “Financing for Agri-SMEs in Africa”) is a fund of funds which aims to unlock financing for agricultural Small and Medium Enterprises across Africa, by supporting investment funds that are active in the sector. FASA supports both emerging and established fund managers raising funds across any asset class, currency or region, provided they focus on Africa’s agricultural sector. FASA’s capital is therefore channelled to agri-SMEs in Africa through the investment funds. For each selected investment fund, FASA provides from $2M to $10M of subordinated capital, mainly in the form of junior equity, alongside capacity building and technical assistance. For the avoidance of doubt, FASA does not provide grants. In addition, FASA provides capacity building and technical assistance to the fund managers and their agri-SME portfolios.Technical Assistance

- Climate Investor One (CIO)Climate FundClimate Investor One focuses on financing projects in low and lower middle income countries in the wind, solar, and hydro sectors with an average size of 25-75 MW or USD 80-100m in total investment cost. Climate Investor One consists of three stages: A Development Fund funded by non-repayable donor contributions would finance up to 50% of development costs for projects by private sector developers. Its specific aim would be to improve projects’ bankability from an early stage, which would include activities that projects often struggle to complete for lack of finance, such as help securing land titles and permits, concluding a power purchase agreement, conducting an environmental and social impact assessment, and reaching financial close by securing 100% of investment costs. The donor capital used to fund this stage would be converted to equity stakes for successful projects that would in turn be bought out by the Construction Finance Facility at commercial rates. In this way, the Development Facility would be an evergreen facility, recycling the returns made from the construction finance facility buy-outs to fund the development of subsequent new projects. A Construction Fund would provide up to 75% of investment costs on commercial terms to projects. It would be funded by three different tiers representing different risk/return positions: A $100m Tier 1 donor tranche to cover potential losses; a $200m Tier 2 subordinate tranche taken up by DFIs and potentially PE/commercialConcessional DebtDebtTechnical Assistance

- Capacity-Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT)Climate FundGEF support for the Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) was established shortly after the adoption of the Paris Agreement to provide quick-access support to countries and to boost their capacity to enhance the transparency of inventories and action as well as the transparency of support received. As such, the CBIT is a key channel of the GEF’s support for successfully implementing the Paris Agreement and its key pillars of transparency and accountability. It does so by enhancing institutional arrangements for climate transparency, strengthening national Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems, and informing NDC enhancement and decision-making.

Following the adoption of the Paris Agreement at UN Climate Change Conference COP21, the GEF established the CBIT Trust Fund in six months and began supporting national projects by COP22 thanks to high levels of donor support and successful engagement with countries and other key stakeholders. CBIT support is available to countries upon request and is provided in a timely manner. In GEF-8, the CBIT has been fully integrated into the climate change focal area’s strategy, with new CBIT projects now being supported directly by the GEF Trust Fund.

- CIF- Clean Technology Fund (CTF)Climate FundThe Clean Technology Fund (CTF) is part of the CIF, which were originally designed with a ‘sunset clause,’ stipulating that operations would wind down once a new financial architecture under the UNFCCC, such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF), became fully operational. The clause allows for any remaining CTF funds to be transferred to a fund with similar objectives. However, given ongoing demand, a strong implementation track record, and the complementary role of the CIF alongside the GCF, the CTF continues to operate with new programming approved by its governing body. As of now, there is no active plan to implement the sunset clause or transfer remaining funds. The CTF promotes scaled-up financing for the demonstration, deployment, and transfer of low-carbon technologies with strong potential for long-term greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Its objectives include: Provide positive incentives, through public and private sector investments, for the demonstration of low carbon development and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions Fund low carbon programmes and projects that are embedded in national plans and strategies, scaling up development and accelerating the diffusion and transfer of clean technologies Realise environmental and social co-benefits, illustrating the potential for low-carbon technologies in contributing to sustainable development and the Millennium Development Goals Support international cooperation on climate change Utilise skills and capabilities of the MDConcessional DebtDebtGrants

- NACAG - Nitric Acid Climate Action GroupGovernment AgencyThe long-term objective of Nitric Acid Climate Action Group (NACAG) is to incentivise the installation of effective N2O abatement technology in every nitric acid plant worldwide. NACAG’s vision is for the N2O emissions of an entire industrial sector to be mitigated on a global scale. The NACAG was launched by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) in order to increase mitigation action in the chemical industry. Considering technical and economic aspects, GHG abatement in the nitric acid sector is generally easy to implement and can be done at relatively low cost. This is the reason why this sector was chosen in the first place. The NACAG initiative offers financial and technical support to individual nitric acid plant operators until the end of 2023. While the technical support is available to all governments and nitric acid producers worldwide, the financial support is bound to the condition that the government of the country in which the plant is located commits to sustaining the emission abatement from year 2024 onwards. Support is available through grants and climate auctions. This support covers not only the procurement and installation of the abatement technology and monitoring equipment required, but also any necessary plant modifications and labour costs related to monitoring and maintenance.Grants
