Scoring of NCF3 completed
Thirteen applicants invited for negotiations
The Nordic Climate Facility’s (NCF) third call for proposals was closed in January 2012; 128 applications were received. The theme for the third call was innovative low-cost climate solutions with a focus on local business development. In March 2012, the NCF team shortlisted 30 applicants to submit full proposals and 29 proposals were received. The NCF team has now evaluated and scored the final applications based on NCF’s guidelines, and 13 applicants have been invited for negotiations. The outcome of these negotiations will be announced later this year.
NCF, which is funded by NDF and jointly administered with the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO), provides partial grant financing for innovative climate related projects in low-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Financing can be granted to Nordic institutions, organisations, companies, and authorities which have established cooperation with a partner in low-income countries.
