Stratégie 2026–2030

The African Climate Foundation (ACF) outlines its 2026–2030 strategy to shift from a phase of expansion to one of systemic integration. The foundation aims to ensure Africa's climate transition is driven from within by supporting local institutions, coalitions, and governments through strategic grants, financial hosting, and incubation. Its framework focuses on three priority areas—energy access, climate resilience, and green industrialization—supported by cross-cutting levers in sustainable finance and international partnerships.

• Between 2020 and 2025, the African Climate Foundation expanded its operations from its origin in South Africa to cover 35 countries, implementing over 467 investments totaling 41.3 million USD.
• The ACF's 2026-2030 strategy focuses on three core priority domains: energy access and transitions, adaptation and resilience, and green industrialization. These are supported by two cross-cutting levers: sustainable finance and international partnerships.
• The foundation identifies a structural failure in climate financing, noting that while Africa contributes the least to global greenhouse gas emissions, it receives only approximately 3% of global climate financing.
• The ACF employs a specific operational model consisting of three integrated instruments: strategic grant-making to resource actors, financial hosting to provide administrative infrastructure for emerging coalitions, and incubation to establish institutional foundations for long-term independence.
• In South Africa, the ACF provided financial hosting for the Project Management Unit (PMU) of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), which had committed 8.5 billion USD to support the phase-out of coal.
• The foundation's strategic objectives for 2026-2030 include strengthening collective action, enhancing ecosystems for sustainable impact, ensuring long-term financial viability, building continental-scale institutional capacity, and implementing adaptive measurement systems for impact and accountability.
• The ACF's approach to green industrialization emphasizes increasing domestic value addition in mining, manufacturing, and agroecological sectors, and supporting the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
• The foundation established the African Food Systems Transformation Collective (AFSTC), which connects over 70 experts and 10 advocacy and policy organizations across the continent to link research with practitioner-led problems.
• In Pata, Senegal, the ACF supported the local NGO ENDA Énergie to install a 32.7 kWp solar system for a 12-hectare market garden, resulting in 45 direct and 100 indirect jobs within seven months.
