IDH aims to select a party to translate key learnings of our work operating the Technical Assistance Facility of the Land Degradation Neutrality Fund into engaging, targeted, and inspiring knowledge products for selected audiences.
Background
The Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) Fund
The Land Degradation Neutrality Fund, co-promoted by the UNCCD, is a first-of-its-kind fund investing in profit-generating sustainable land management and land restoration projects that contribute to SDG 15.3. The Fund is managed by Mirova and provides long-term debt and equity financing for sustainable land use projects that reduce or reverse land degradation. It is structured as a blended finance fund, pooling resources from both public and private investors committed to the goal of stopping land degradation. The fund has a lifetime of 15 years, but the TAF is in its final year of operation, having operated for five years assisting potential investees to gear up their investment-readiness.
The Land Degradation Neutrality Fund Technical Assistance Facility (LDN TAF)
The Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) aims to maximize positive impacts and reduce commercial and ESG risks. It provides grants to support projects seeking investment from the LDN Fund and is funded by donor contributions of a target size of 5% of the fund’s size.
