SNV

## Company Description

SNV is a not-for-profit international development organization with long-term,
local presence in more than 30 of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa and
Latin America. Our team of local and international advisors work with local
partners to equip communities, businesses and organisations with the tools,
knowledge and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access
to basic services – empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and guide
their own development across three sectors: Agriculture, Renewable Energy and
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH).

Project Background

SNV is a member of the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD) (

Assistance (TA) to projects with a focus on climate change adaptation; (ii)
mobilize external private sector funding at scale; and (iii) align directly
with DFCD Theory of Change (ToC).

The DFCD allows for investments in projects aimed at climate change adaptation
and mitigation in developing countries. SNV, as part of the DFCD Origination
Facility, will identify and develop, together with local companies and
stakeholders, bankable business case propositions which can subsequently be
picked up by the DFCD Investment Facilities (Water and Land-use) for further
development, match-making and investment. The DFCD presents an important

the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
