SNV works with enterprises across our target countries to identify opportunities to invest and blend traditional ODA funding to catalyse market development and to leverage private sector finance.
Our extensive experience has given us the knowledge and the relationships we need to employ approaches and tools across the business lifecycle which aim to de-risk investments, catalyse sustainable businesses and markets while building reliable funding streams for agri-food, energy, and water systems.
To do so, we use instruments such as catalytic grants, incubation or enterprises, results-based financing, guarantees and insurance, and we take an active role in access to finance and investment brokering.
One example is the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD) � a � 160 million investment fund focusing on high impact investment themes related to climate resilient water systems, forestry, food security and protecting the environment. Together with WWF NL, we are jointly responsible for the Origination Facility (OF) providing grant funding and technical assistance.
