Project Description 

The CAFI MPTF is hosted by the Multi Partner Trust Fund Office of UNDP (MPTF-O). It offers a coordination mechanism to donors who are part of CAFI by harmonized approval, disbursement, and monitoring and reporting processes.

As such, the Fund provides the following services:

1. Broadened funding base by pooling funding from different donors

2. Alignment with national objectives through harmonized support to national investment frameworks

3. Strategic and coordinated allocations

4. Reduced transaction cost and streamlined implementation via a pass-through mechanism to accredited entities 

The CAFI MPTF will focus its efforts on changing development trajectories by supporting integrated reforms to orient Central African economies towards a low emission green economic development path. Mitigating fragmented action, improving coordination between donors and programmes, as well as mobilizing new funding, will also be at the forefront.

In addition, CAFI seeks to complement existing regional initiatives (such as COMIFAC, ECCAS and CBFP) as well as regional components of global programs such the Green Climate Fund, the GEF, Forest Investment Program, PROGREEN, UN-REDD or the EU-REDD Facility.
