Food Securities Fund Accountable Cocoa and Coffee Tranche (FSF ACCT) Costa Rica, Cote d'Ivoire, Dominican Republic (the), Ecuador, Ghana, Guatemala, Nigeria, Peru, Rwanda, Uganda

The FSF ACCT is a blended finance programme targeting cocoa and coffee supply chains in 10 countries. It combines a USD 200 million investment facility for pre-harvest working capital loans with a USD 12 million Technical Assistance Facility (TAF). The programme aims to mitigate 8.47 million tCO2e and benefit over 8.7 million people over 15 years by promoting agroforestry and regenerative agriculture.

• The FSF ACCT aims to mitigate a cumulative total of over 8,466,857 tCO2e over a 15-year lifespan, primarily by reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (Land Use Change).
• The programme expects to reach 1,504,728 direct beneficiaries and 7,272,342 indirect beneficiaries over 15 years, with an estimated 20% of direct beneficiaries being female.
• The total financing for the programme is USD 212 million, consisting of USD 56 million from the Green Climate Fund (USD 50 million in equity and USD 6 million in grants) and USD 156 million in co-financing.
• The programme targets 10 countries: Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Ghana, Guatemala, Nigeria, Peru, Rwanda, and Uganda, focusing on cocoa, coffee, and associated crops.
• The FSF ACCT utilizes an innovative financing model where 'Value Chain Partners' (VCPs)—larger diversified companies—provide transaction-level guarantees to de-risk loans to aggregators, reducing the need for traditional collateral.
• The programme addresses a significant 'pre-harvest' working capital gap, as traditional lenders often require post-harvest collateral, which prevents smallholders and aggregators from investing in climate-smart practices early in the season.
• A dedicated Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) of USD 12 million (USD 6 million from GCF and USD 6 million co-financing) will support three themes: social (gender and youth), environmental (ecosystem and soil health), and business resilience.
• The programme targets the restoration of 30,000 hectares of land and bringing a total of 435,650 hectares under sustainable management practices by the end of year 15.
