Consult the Project Eligibility and Application Guidelines for detailed information on
Eligibility and the Application Process
Application
The application portal is open throughout the year, with applications being evaluated and
cohorts selected in recurring rounds of four weeks. Our initial
application round closes on Tuesday, 31 December 2024 [23:59
GMT]. All applications received after this date will enter the next round. New
rounds will be announced on the website.
Evaluation
Applications that are eligible for support
will be reviewed by GFF experts, using a proprietary methodology that evaluates readiness across
a number of key dimensions, awarding points for what has been achieved rather than using a
binary yes/no cutoff approach to assessment.
Evaluations will consider the following factors:
- Relevance to Ghana’s climate related goals
- Commercial viability, as evidenced by positive EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization), consistent revenues, long-term sales
contracts or similar
- Financial performance outlook
- Quality and credibility of business plan and/or operational presentation
- Environmental and social impact outlook
- Job creation potential
Start of Advisory
Successful applications will be invited to
conclude an “Agreement for Advisory Services” (AAS) with the GFF and a selected business advisory firm. This agreement outlines the scope of support to be provided, the conditions under
which it is provided as well as the rights of every client receiving support. The cost of
services is covered by the GFF.
