The Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) is part of the UK's efforts to support climate action at scale by improving the quality of emerging green businesses and initiatives in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies and matches them to relevant investors.

If the option to extend is taken, then the contract may be uplifted by an additional PS100,000 (Inclusive of Vat and Taxes).
