However, developing countries encounter difficulties in financing their bioenergy projects and programmes. This report “Financing options for bioenergy projects and programmes” was developed by the Secretariat of the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) and is the result of an extensive information-gathering process. Key information included in this document was kindly provided by GBEP Partners and Observers. The main objective of this report is to facilitate access to financing for bioenergy for sustainable development at the project, programme and sectoral level in developing countries. The report intends to provide a comprehensive tool for use by national governments and project developers when assessing different financing opportunities for bioenergy projects and programmes, giving a clear picture of selection criteria and bioenergy project characteristics that should be fulfilled to receive these financing. Overview and User Guide The purpose of this report is threefold: • to provide governments and project developers in developing countries with a useful list of available financing options and opportunities worldwide for bioenergy projects and programmes; • to provide users with clear information regarding funds and financing opportunities divided by target regions and country selection criteria; • to offer policy-makers and project developers in developing countries guidance for accessing and requesting international financing for bioenergy projects and programmes. The document is divided into two main sections. The first section outlines funds that are global in scope. Developing countries worldwide can access and apply for these financial resources after fulfilling detailed project criteria. This section is sub-divided according to donor category: multilateral funds and partnerships, national initiatives, and foundations. In the second section types of financing are described according to their regional scope and organized into three sub-sections: Africa, the Americas and Asia. Policy-makers and project developers will find potential sources of financing by checking their country and project characteristics against the country and project criteria detailed in the template presented for each financing option. The How and when to apply part of each template will guide
