FSD Africa is designing and implementing an ambitious plan to establish a project preparation facility (PPF) in Ghana to support transaction advisory and project development services for climate-aligned projects. Established alongside the FCDO GCEIP programme, the PPF has the ultimate aim to attract private finance to high-impact, investible projects that contribute substantially to closing the climate decarbonization and adaptation financing gap in Ghana. The PPF will provide upstream resources to help early-stage projects progress towards feasibility, financial structuring and, ultimately, private capital mobilisation. It operates through two complementary funding windows: (i) grant financing, supporting early diagnostics and feasibility scoping; and (ii) returnable (i.e. zero-loan) financing, enabling downstream feasibility and structuring activities for projects that demonstrate credible investment potential. As part of the first phase (Phase I) of the PPF, FSD Africa seeks to contract an individual, firm or consortia (hereafter referred to as the “Consultant”) to:

i) Establish a tiered governance structure for the PPF, comprising of Ghanian public and private sector stakeholders and

ii) Establish initial interaction with prospective investors in the PPF and its projects.

This engagement is expected to run from January to July 2026 (the end of PPF Phase I).
