COP27 side event: Building bridges between finance and development cooperation for the adaptation of food systems
In the scope of COP27, ECDPM is organising this hybrid workshop with the Dutch Fund for Climate Development (FMO, CFM, SNV and WWF) on 9 November at 14:30-15:15 CET (15:30-16:15 EET) to identify best practices around blended finance to support the sustainability of food systems.
ECDPM staff involved
This event aims to promote cross-sectoral partnerships with all actors involved in the transformation of food systems and to build bridges between financial and development/technical cooperation to maximize the effectiveness, impact and scale of investment from both private and public sources.
It will facilitate a dialogue among key relevant stakeholders, based on recent research around public-private collaborations and blended finance, focusing on different examples of climate finance and food value chain investment processes. It will feature experiences emerging from Europe, Africa and international public-private cooperation to increase access to finance for current marginalised actors in the least developed countries (small-scale farmers, women, SMEs, Youth, etc.).
