PFAN is hosting this exclusive evening event which will create a space for open dialogue for relevant stakeholders in climate adaptation finance; including entrepreneurs, investors, development finance institutions and the donor community.

​

Participants will hear elevator pitches from innovative climate adaptation businesses from Southern Africa and learn about their challenges and needs. The following projects will be presented:

• Emfed Farms & Trading, Ghana

• Livestock Trade Services, Kenya

• SimuSolar, Tanzania

 

Engaging roundtable discussions will follow, allowing participants to discuss and explore the key      challenges and opportunities in scaling up adaptation finance and closing the gaps between:

• Climate SMEs and investors making direct investments in adaptation businesses, and

• Climate adaptation businesses and large financing institutions (e.g., DFIs/IFIs) due to the lack of suitable financing mechanisms.

 

The evening event will be an excellent way to connect, brainstorm, collaborate and learn in real-time over dinner.
