About this grant
The Africa Climate Change Fund (ACCF) Third Call for Proposals is a funding round focused on gender equality and climate resilience across African countries. The page lists a set of project concepts that the call covers. Each concept targets a specific climate risk or gender gap, such as sustainable plastic recycling for coastal climate resilience in Kaolack, Senegal; women and youth entrepreneurship and job creation in climate adaptation; shea agroforestry resilience in Togo and Burkina Faso; household resilience to climate shocks in Somalia; participation of women with disabilities in climate policy and negotiations; gender equality in land access for climate adaptation in the IGAD region; gender-transformative climate resilience in Malawi and Mozambique; gender transformation in Afar and Oromia, Ethiopia; and capacity building for women climate negotiators in Eastern and Southern Africa. The underlying problem is that climate change disproportionately affects women, girls, young people, and marginalised groups, who often have the least capacity to respond. The listed initiatives aim to strengthen institutional and community capacity, expand women's and youth economic opportunities, and bring gender-sensitive and participatory approaches into climate adaptation and policy. Several concepts reference sexual and reproductive health and rights, and others involve multi-country or regional implementation. The page does not state the call's budget, application procedure, or timeline in detail. It presents the call as a set of thematic project areas that the ACCF is seeking to fund or has already structured.
