CAFI fundings may be channelled beyond single countries, engaging actors across several or all partner nations to tackle issues that require cross-border coordination and learning. Dedicated funds or facilities, meant to complement national efforts, address region‐wide thematic priorities, such as

  • A Regional Private Sector Facility (US$100 million) to support early project stages and pilots in energy, agriculture, forestry, ecotourism.
  • A Regional Technical Assistance Facility (~US$10 million over 3 years) for capacity‐building, fulfilling commitments under climate/biodiversity accords
  • A South‐South Cooperation Facility
