From Climate Ambition to International Capital.
We help Nepali projects and institutions access international climate finance by building credible funding strategies, investment cases, and proposals aligned with global funder requirements.
THE CHALLENGE
Nepal Has Climate Needs. The Capital Exists. Access Remains the Challenge.
International climate finance is expanding, but accessing it requires strong project design, credible data, technical documentation, and alignment with complex funding requirements.
Capacity Gaps
Many institutions lack the dedicated technical capacity required to develop complex international funding proposals.
Data Deficits
Funders require credible, verifiable data on climate impact, emissions, safeguards, and project performance.
Technical Requirements
International funders use specialised frameworks, methodologies, templates, and reporting requirements.
Fragmented Opportunities
Projects can miss larger programmatic opportunities when funding efforts remain isolated and disconnected.

OUR PROCESS
A Structured Path from Idea to Funding.
We guide projects through each stage of the climate finance journey, from initial eligibility assessment to submission and post-award support.
Scoping & Eligibility Assessment (Week 1-2)
We meet with your team to understand your project, your objectives, and your timeline. We conduct a rapid eligibility assessment against potential funding windows and provide a clear go/no-go recommendation. If your project is not ready for international funding, we tell you honestly—and suggest alternative pathways.
Funding Strategy & Work Plan (Week 3-4)
We map the most promising funding opportunities, develop a tailored strategy, and agree on a work plan with clear milestones, responsibilities, and deliverables. You will know exactly what is expected of your team and what we will handle.
Technical Studies & Data Collection (Week 5-12)
We coordinate or conduct the baseline studies, feasibility assessments, and safeguard analyses required by the funder. We work with your team to collect and organise all necessary data. We provide templates and guidance to make this process as efficient as possible.
Proposal Development & Review (Week 13-20)
We draft the full proposal, share it with you for feedback, and refine it through multiple iterations. We ensure every section is aligned with the funder's requirements. We also prepare you for any interviews or presentations the funder may request.
Submission & Follow-Up (Week 21+)
We manage the submission process, respond to funder queries, and support you through the evaluation and approval stages. If the proposal is successful, we help you navigate the grant agreement and disbursement process.
