Countries and organizations can partner with CTAF by joining as members, developing or participating in climate technology demonstration projects, and connecting local companies, research institutes, and universities with global innovation opportunities. Through GGGI’s country offices across Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Pacific, and the Middle East, CTAF will support governments and partners in identifying promising technologies, building collaboration networks, and advancing projects that can incubate new green industries and scale future-oriented climate solutions.

Interested governments, institutions, companies, and research partners are encouraged to contact youngki.yoon@gggi.org to learn more about becoming a CTAF member.

1. Initial Check

The CTAF Secretariat reviews every submitted proposal for completeness and strategic fit. Only proposals that pass this initial check move forward.

2. Review by the Technology & Policy Expert Working Group (TPE W/G)

The Technology and Policy Expert Working Group assesses whether the proposed technology is credible, scalable and aligned with national climate policy.

3. Review by the Country & Regional Expert Working Group (CRE W/G)

Approved proposals move to the Country and Regional Expert Working Group, which reviews regional context, national sustainability priorities and stakeholder readiness

4. Final Approval by the CTAF Project Steering Committee (PSC)

Projects that clear both working groups go to the CTAF Project Steering Committee, which makes the final funding decision and determines whether the project follows the Demonstration, Pre-joint study or Regional Strategy Initiative Track.

5. Project Implementation

Selected projects are supported by the CTAF Secretariat throughout implementation.

6. Completion & Further Funding

Regional Strategy Initiative Projects (RSIP)

The results and learnings produced by Regional Strategy Initiative Projects are then used to inform strategy and further development of Pre-joint Study and Demonstration Projects in the region.

Pre-joint Study Project (PJSP)

Pre-joint Study Projects run for up to one year, with a possible six-month extension. Upon successful completion, projects have approximately an 85% chance of being selected as a Demonstration Project. The CTAF Secretariat also supports projects that have completed their pre-joint study successfully in securing follow-on funding from GGGI internal and external sources.

Demonstration Projects (DMP)

The CTAF Secretariat supports successfully completed Demonstration Projects to attract follow-on financing, whether from GGGI‘s internal funds, external finance institutions such as the World Bank or the Green Climate Fund (GCF) or government and donor-country support. To support this effort, Demonstration Projects can transition into Commercialization Accelerator Projects.

Commercialization Accelerator Projects (CAP)

Since Commercialization Accelerator Projects are designed to accelerate market entry, projects that successfully complete this track are expected to have secured outside funding and be ready for commercialization in the market.
