All SolutionsAccess to Climate Finance & Project Development
Climate action requires finance — and finance requires strong projects.
SSA's core business is working with African institutions to turn national priorities, climate strategies and development goals into investment ready projects and access to climate finance.
Through platforms including the AAI Adaptation Project Incubator for Africa (APIA), SSA deploys end-to-end project preparation and finance-access support – helping partners overcome common financing barriers: limited capacity, complex fund requirements, fragmented pipelines, and insufficient structuring expertise.
We support institutions across the full climate finance value chain, from early pipeline identification to proposal submission and implementation readiness.
We also support accreditation, fiduciary strengthening, and institutional readiness for accessing climate funds.
Our work helps partners to:
- Identify and prioritize climate investments
- Prepare concept notes and full funding proposals
- Develop climate rationales; feasibility studies; economic and climate-adjusted financial analysis
- Design blended finance structures to mobilize public and private capital
- Establish safeguards, gender, social inclusion and results frameworks
- Navigate climate fund accreditation and approval processes
- Embed long-term capacity to manage climate finance
