Description

The OECD tracks adaptation finance to Africa from the following six foundations: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, McKnight Foundation, Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, David & Lucile Packard Foundation, Oak Foundation, and MAVA Foundation. Of these, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation delivered the most funding, including a USD 33.6 million grant in 2018 to the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics which aims to modernize Africa-focused dryland cereals and grain breeding.[1] Like ODA, funding from these organizations can de-risk adaptation activities, draw in private finance, and support technical capacity building.
