Common Fund for Commodities (CFC)
The Common Fund for Commodities (CFC) offers Impact Finance to qualifying projects along the commodity value chains for small and medium enterprises (SMES)/enterprises, cooperatives and other businesses that are helping to alleviate poverty.
What

Smallholder farmers in developing countries struggle to add value to what they produce. While sourcing from the smallholders, SMEs may address the gaps that smallholders experience in finance, knowledge and information - therefore localizing efforts and developments to alleviate poverty.

The CFC can offer a range of financial and technical instruments of support to meet specific needs of SMEs/enterprises, cooperatives and institutions along the entire commodity value chain in its member countries.

How

Eligible projects need to be based in one of the 101 CFC Member Countries and intend to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals by investing in commodity value chains. 

Successful applications will demonstrate clear and visible potential to achieve sustainable positive impact on the livelihoods of the poor people who depend on commodities. To speed up the process, applications backed up by sovereign and/or other guarantees are preferred.
