Climate Aggregation Platform (CAP) - Aims to help build in-country pipelines of standardised, low-carbon energy assets and to develop low-cost sources of financing, tapping new and diverse investor bases. Climate Change Financing Frameworks (CCFF) and Development Finance Assessment (DFA) - Frameworks for identifying baselines, evaluating the costing of climate finance interventions, identifying entry points for finance, and institutionalizing road maps to fulfilling NDCs.
