About CAPE
Empowering High-Integrity and High-Impact, Nature-Based Projects Across Africa
Nature is one of Africa’s most significant yet underinvested economic assets. With more than 62% of the continent’s GDP dependent on natural capital, protecting and restoring Africa’s landscapes is not only an environmental imperative, but also a development, resilience and investment opportunity.
Yet despite the critical role that nature plays in supporting economies, livelihoods and climate resilience, investment in nature-based carbon and biodiversity projects remains far below what is needed. Globally, these projects face an estimated annual funding gap of US$32.5 billion, leaving many high-potential initiatives unable to access the capital, technical support and market connections required to reach scale.
Launched in 2024 by FSD Africa in partnership with Finance Earth and the African Natural Capital Alliance (ANCA), CAPE was established to help close this gap by unlocking investment into high-integrity and high-impact carbon projects across Africa.
