Since its inception in 2014, the ACCF has established itself as a climate financing mechanism that supports preparatory activities and small-scale adaptation projects across the African continent
In 2022, the Bank and the donors amended the scope of the Fund, and extended the duration to 2027, to ensure it remains responsive to the increasing needs of the continent
In 2021, the ACCF did not mobilize new resources. However, it continued with ongoing activities at the fund management and projects portfolio levels
