Adaptation finance for agriculture in southern Africa requires significant scaling up and incentivization, particularly in the up-stream and mid-stream agricultural value chains, in order to build capacity and unlock private sector investment in climate-smart agriculture to promote climate adaptation and build climate resilience.Two interconnected concept notes for Resilient Investment in Southern Africa (RISA) are being submitted simultaneously and should be considered in conjunction. The RISA Technical Assistance Facility (RISA-TAF) is an application for technical assistance grant funding. The RISA Investment Facility (RISA IF) is an application for first-loss equity capital, to be used to catalyse investment in SMEs active within agricultural value chains which support climate-smart agriculture in target countries across the region.
