NDF contributes EUR 10 million to the AfDB Urban and Municipal Development Fund Africa is projected to face the fastest urban growth rate in the world; around 3.2 per cent per annum. By 2050 around 1.5 billion people are expected to live in Africa’s towns and cities: an additional urban population of 900 million people. African countries remain the most vulnerable to climate change, and yet the most poorly prepared to deal with its impacts. In late 2022, NDF confirmed that it will contribute 10 million euros to the African Development Bank Group’s Urban and Municipal Development Fund (UMDF), a thematic multi-donor trust fund that helps African countries to spur climate resilient, liveable and productive urbanization. |

The Ocean Resilience and Coastal Adaptation Trust Fund (ORCA TF) is a multi-donor trust fund set to address the financing gap and catalyse investments needed to strengthen the resilience of coastal areas to climate change and to promote sustainable blue economies in the Asia-Pacific region. The Fund will be managed by the Asian Development Bank, NDF’s long-standing partner. NDF is happy to contribute a total of EUR 8.5 million to the Fund, alongside other partners, such as the United Kingdom and the Global Environment Facility. |
