PRIVATE FINANCING ADVISORY NETWORK (PFAN)
CALL FOR CLIMATE OR CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS
DEADLINE: 1 SEPTEMBER, 2020

The Private Financing Advisory Network is a global network of climate and clean energy financing experts that aims to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs developing climate and clean energy projects and private sector investors.

PFAN achieves this by:
• providing free business coaching to projects, increasing the chances of attracting investment; and
• growing its investor outreach.

PFAN organises investment forums to showcase selected investment-ready projects to groups of investors and provides one-on-one investment facilitation services to investment-ready projects, shortening the path to further growth.

Our goals are to build clean energy markets one business at a time, mitigate climate change and mobilise private investment in support of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the Sustainable Development Goals.

CALL FOR CLIMATE OR CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS:
Are you looking for funding for your climate or clean energy project or to scale up your existing business? PFAN’s expert network of advisors can help you get there. Selected PFAN projects undergo intensive one-on-one coaching to perfect their business plans, financial structures and investment pitches. Once investment-ready, projects may be invited to present at
PFAN and partner events, or receive tailored investment facilitation services.

We accept applications for projects and scale up businesses in low- and middle-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Pacific Islands, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Central America and Caribbean Islands.

To be eligible for PFAN support, your project or business must provide climate change adaptation benefits, or offer or use clean energy technologies, products or services. Please visit our Eligibility Criteria page to find out more about eligible countries, technologies and sectors.

If your project or business fits to PFAN’s criteria, you can submit an application to PFAN by 1 September 2020 to be included in the next evaluation round. Selected projects and businesses will receive free business coaching and investor matchmaking services.

If you are ready to apply, you can submit your proposal.

If you need more time for your proposal, please note that PFAN accepts applications year-round on an ongoing basis. Applications received after the 1 September deadline will be evaluated later in 2020.

PFAN particularly encourages applications from women-led businesses.
