The African Climate Foundation (ACF) was born out of a simple but powerful idea. For climate philanthropy to have a real impact in Africa, it needs an African institution rooted in the continent’s realities, one that can navigate its complexities and is trusted by those driving change on the ground.
Six years on, ACF has evolved from proof of concept to a continental platform with the institutional depth, partnerships and credibility required to operate at scale. The next phase is not about expansion for its own sake. It is about deliberate strategic choice: focusing effort, sharpening priorities and deepening systemic impact. This 2026–2030 organisational strategy outlines that direction.
