Program on Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa (AFAWA): Financing Climate Resilient Agricultural Practices in Ghana

About this project

The programme is an on-lending programme to provide credit lines to local banks. The loans will target micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and farmer-based associations (FBAs) led by women to support low-emissions and climate-resilient agricultural practices. • It provides affirmative action financing for women-led MSMEs and FBAs to low-emissions climate-resilient agriculture practices, enabling women to access affordable credit. • It aims to catalyze private sector investment for climate resilient agricultural lending through a long-term financing by GCF. • GCF financing transforms the AE’s gender initiative and the country’s risk-sharing initiative in agriculture into a dedicated gender and climate resilient agriculture initiative.
