Programme brief:
The Climate Action Window (CAW) 2023 Adaptation Sub-Window by the African Development Fund (ADF) is a climate resilience initiative aimed at Africa’s most climate-vulnerable regions.

Projects receive grants ranging from $3 to $5 million, with a focus on adaptation co-financing, technical assistance, and mitigation. Applications for this funding round close in February 2024, with future calls dependent on additional contributions toward a $4 billion target by 2025.
