The Clean Technology Fund

The Clean Technology Fund (CTF), administered by the World Bank and Regional Development Banks, aims to use concessional finance to achieve transformative long-term reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in fast-growing developing countries. As of March 2010, approximately US$4.35 billion of the US$4.405 billion pledged had been earmarked for investment plans across 12 countries and a solar program in North Africa, with US$888 million approved for 15 projects in 8 countries. The document emphasizes the need for greater focus on governance, policy, and regulatory issues during project implementation.

• The Clean Technology Fund (CTF) seeks to utilize the lowest amount of concessional financing required to create investment opportunities that result in transformative long-term impacts on a recipient country's greenhouse gas emissions.
• By March 2010, the CTF had earmarked nearly all of its pledged US$4.405 billion—specifically US$4.35 billion—to support a regional concentrating solar program in North Africa and investment plans in 12 countries. Of this, US$888 million had been approved for 15 projects across 8 countries.
• Analysis of investment plans in Mexico and South Africa indicates that addressing governance, regulatory, and policy issues is critical to the design and implementation of CTF projects.
