Experience and depth matter

Working with E Co. means clients don’t have to reinvent the wheel. We have worked on over 300 sustainable development projects, in 140+ countries with organisations such as IFC, World Bank, EBRD, AfDB, UNDP & UNIDO achieving funding of USD $1 billion from donors including GEF, GCF, CIF, AF and CTF.

Funders

Climate change mitigation and adaptation finance includes local, national and transnational funding from public, private and alternative sources. E Co’s expert team will identify which sources of funding are right for each project or programme, whether it be grants, loans, equity investment or blended finance.

We help clients source funding from a diverse array of major funders, including:

  • bilateral funders like CIDA and AFD;
  • multilateral funds like SREP and CTF;
  • UNFCCC mechanisms like the GCF, Adaptation Fund and GEF; and
  • private lenders and investors.

Our deep experience base means we’re very comfortable working within the differing operational modes of these funding bodies and so are able to help clients navigate the funding process swiftly and efficiently.
