The Green Outcomes Fund (GOF) External Knowledge Report 2022
In 2020 the Bertha Centre launched the Green Outcomes Fund (GOF) in collaboration with GreenCape and the World Wide Fund for Nature South Africa (WWF-SA).
This first-of-its-kind, innovative climate finance instrument was designed to encourage investment in South Africa’s green SMME economy and address challenges for stakeholders across the green SMME investment ecosystem (a multi-stakeholder approach that provides for big impact and lots of learnings).
As we enter the final year of the two-year pilot project, the GOF team has gathered 40+ lessons around key areas of implementation and structure. These learnings build on the insights of critical stakeholders including green SMMEs, investors, grant funders and others.
