Dutch fund for climate and development

10/ 07/ 2020

The Dutch government established the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD) with a budget of 160 million Euro to allow private sector investment in climate adaptation and mitigation projects in developing countries, to increase resilience of communities and ecosystems most vulnerable to climate change.

DFCD is managed by a pioneering group of four partners, namely FMO (Netherlands Development Bank), CFM (Climate Fund Manager), WWF-NL (World Widelife Fund for Netherlands), and SNV (Netherlands Development Organization). The fund is structured with 3 facilities:

  • Origination Facility managed by WWF and SNV;
  • Water Facility managed by CFM; and
  • Land use facility managed by FMO 

The Fund can help non-investable projects become investable projects, through Origination Facility, assistance in the form of Technical Assistance or matching grants. The Fund can then invest directly from 1 to 10 million Euro for a project through either a Land Use Facility or a Water Facility.

Thematic focus of the fund are:

  • Boosting food security with climate smart agriculture
  • Protecting the environment, protecting people
  • Forestry for the future
  • Climate resilient water systems & freshwater ecosystems

In Vietnam, DFCD focuses on projects in the Mekong Delta region - considered to be the most vulnerable to climate change.
DFCD wishes to cooperate with companies to have opportunities to invest and support businesses to find solutions to adapt to climate change.
