Project Overview

The GEFF Tajikistan aims to scale up green financing and support Tajikistan in its transition to a green economy. The facility will provide financing of up to USD 25 million for on-lending to eligible sub-projects via Partner Financial Institutions (PFIs). A range of climate mitigation and adaptation solutions with strong commercial and replication potential across Tajikistan’s key sectors should be demonstrated, including agricultural- and semi-agricultural, commercial and residential sectors. In addition, under the GEFF Tajikistan gender component, Frankfurt School should design, implement, manage and lead the gender mainstreaming activities outlined in the Gender Action Plan.
