Monitoring and Evaluation of the Climate Public Private Partnership programme (CP3) Phase II

The overall aim of the CP3 project is to increase the role of private sector finance in driving low carbon, climate resilient growth in developing countries. CP3 aims to increase the amount of funding in Private Equity (PE) in the climate friendly space both by directly funding two commercially run PE Funds (who in turn fund sub funds and projects which would therefore be able to conclude their investments) and thus inducing a leveraging effect, i.e. bringing on board other donors and other institutional investors (sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and insurance funds), as well as by making direct investments in the climate area. This will also have a “demonstration effect”, showing that PE climate investment (and climate projects in general), have good financial risk and return, thereby helping the climate friendly market to grow faster. As such, CP3 will stimulate low carbon sustainable growth in developing countries.
