Collaborations and partnerships are critical for the sustainability of the hub. From the development of the concept note to date, the following partners have been instrumental in playing significant roles in ensuring the realization of the hub.

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)

The development of the Climate Finance Knowledge Hub (CFKH) was supported by the German Development Corporation through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). This initiative was started through GIZ’s Regional programme, “Regional Programme Support to Reform Partnership” in Ghana and the Financial Systems Development (FSD) component of the Programme for Sustainable Economic Development (PSED). Both programmes ended in December 2022.

Subsequently, the GIZ’s Support to the Private and Financial Sector (PFS) programme took over the development of the CFKH in January 2023. The programme aims to improve employment conditions in the private sector, especially for Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in selected regions of Ghana.

PFS, a follow up programme of PSED, is building on the achievements of the two previous programmes in the development of the CFKH. PFS’ interest in the CFKH is based on the benefits Financial Institutions (FIs) and MSMEs will derive from the platform through knowledge-sharing, capacity-building, and access to information about climate finance, leading to sustainable financing and climate-smart enterprises.
