African academy dedicated to adaptation finance
Our mission
To scale up climate adaptation action in Africa and strengthen the capacity of African institutions to develop bankable projects.
The Adaptation Finance Academy works to scale up adaptation action across the continent by supporting the design and delivery of dedicated programmes, while substantially strengthening the capacity of African institutions to lead this work themselves and generate bankable projects. A programme delivered jointly with Sustainable Solutions for Africa (SSA).
Our academy turns that mission into education: it connects core financial expertise to the realities of resilience, climate risk management and the structuring of fundable adaptation projects.
Graduates go on to join banks, investment funds, public institutions, NGOs and companies that design and finance adaptation projects across Africa.
Teaching grounded in practice
The curriculum alternates between core teaching, practical workshops and case studies. Every learner has a personal digital space: timetable, course materials, practical work and progress tracking.
An end-to-end digital platform
From the online application through to managing your studies, AFA runs on a single secure platform, accessible from a smartphone, to simplify every administrative and academic step.
