With funding from USAID and the Walton Family Foundation, the SLP has established a grant facility that will invest in replicable low carbon business models that contribute to improved livelihoods and the preservation of natural capital. Significantly, the SLP will also identify and help to reduce existing investment barriers to private sector participation in low carbon development, thereby catalysing investment into established or new green growth commodity production and supporting market mechanisms. To ensure the quality and impact of its investments, and to monitor results in ways that can generate proof of concept and increasingly larger scale investments, the SLP will work with Applicants to provide ongoing technical and strategic oversight and support of project activities.
Calls for proposals and other news about grant availability are announced on this site. Eligibility criteria for Applicants can be found in the Request for Proposal documents below.
