Call Summary
The Climate Technology Centre and Network (UN CTCN) has launched a new call for proposals under the Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (AFCIA), seeking innovative climate adaptation solutions from across the Asia Pacific region.
Through the AFCIA programme, UN CTCN provides technical assistance to organisations developing innovative approaches to climate adaptation. The programme focuses on supporting transformative and locally led solutions solutions.
Up to 10 projects will be selected through the new regional call. Each project can receive up to USD 150,000 in technical assistance support for piloting innovative climate adaptation solutions. Projects that can demonstrate excellence in innovation and sustainability will be prioritized.
Rather than transferring grants directly, UN CTCN’s programme provides technical assistance support designed to strengthen institutional capacity, facilitate knowledge sharing, and connect projects with specialised expertise and resources.
Eligibility Criteria
Applications are open to entities based in developing countries that have officially nominated a National Designated Entity (NDE) to the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism.
This includes governmental institutions, universities, research centres, NGOs, private-sector entities, and other organizations.
