Project / Programme Executive Summary (max 300 words) Please provide a brief description of the proposed project/programme, including the objectives and primary measurable benefits (see investment criteria in section E). The detailed description can be elaborated in section C. The DBSA Climate Finance Facility Programme (“the Programme” or “CFF”) is a lending facility that aims to address market constraints, play a catalytic role with a blended finance approach, to increase climate related investments in the Southern African region. The lending facility will consist of credit enhancements focused on first loss or subordinated debt and tenor extensions to catalyze private sector climate investments. The CFF will be a first-of-its-kind application based on the Green Bank model, adapted for emerging market conditions. It offers globally significant proof-of-concept value to middle and lower income nations seeking to address market barriers and quickly scale up the high levels of private investment required by Paris climate commitments. The CFF Programme will fill market gaps and crowd-in private investment, targeting commercially viable technologies that cannot currently attract market-rate capital at scale. It will focus on infrastructure projects that mitigate or adapt to climate change and utilize two main instruments: subordinated debt / first-loss and credit enhancements such as tenor extension to projects that are commercially viable but not currently being financed by the private sector banks. It should be noted that CFF will not fund projects that could be funded solely by commercial banks. Projects will be required to demonstrate that they are focused on technically and economically feasible transactions where there is market interest but limited
