Landmark accreditation positions the Agency as one of only four regional Direct Access Entities in the Caribbean and opens the door to millions in climate finance for transformative private sector investment across the region<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean Export) welcomes its accreditation by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), marking a defining moment for the institution, a major achievement for the Caribbean, and a bold new chapter for private sector-led climate action in the region.  In securing this milestone, Caribbean Export becomes one of only four regional Direct Access Entities in the Caribbean accredited by the GCF, a major step that significantly elevates the region\u2019s ability to access, shape, and deploy international climate finance through institutions rooted in Caribbean priorities and realities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Caribbean Export, this is far more than a credential. It is a game-changing platform for action. In its 30th year of operations, the Agency enters this role not as a passive conduit for funding, but as an active regional force with the mandate, private sector expertise, and trusted partnerships to convert climate ambition into investable programmes and projects that can transform businesses and economies across the Caribbean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a regional institution focused on private sector development for the past 30 years, Caribbean Export\u2019s accreditation represents a major breakthrough for the Agency and wider region.  It strengthens its ability to help develop and implement climate-related projects and programmes that respond to the needs of Caribbean countries and businesses. It also positions the Agency to play a stronger role in creating pipelines of investment-ready initiatives that help Caribbean businesses build resilience, modernize operations, adopt cleaner technologies, and compete in a rapidly changing global economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Green Climate Fund works through Accredited Entities to develop funding proposals and manage projects and programmes that help countries turn climate priorities into action, with financing instruments that can include concessional loans, equity, guarantees, lines of credit, and grant-based capacity building. As a Direct Access Entity, Caribbean Export is now strategically positioned to help open the door to these resources and to crowd in the scale of capital the region has long needed. The opportunity is transformative: to unlock millions of dollars for Caribbean businesses, mobilise new partnerships, and support a new generation of commercially viable climate investments that the region has not previously been positioned to pursue at this level through a regional private sector-focused institution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
