The second Modern Cooking Facility for Africa (MCFA) funding round will open at the end of November 2023, supporting access to and scale-up of high-technology clean cooking solutions in seven Sub-Saharan African countries.
The MCFA offers a combination of results-based financing (RBF), non-reimbursable catalytic grant financing and technical assistance (TA) to companies active in the clean cooking market to grow and scale up their businesses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
During the programme implementation phase, funded clean Cooking Service Providers will be eligible to receive targeted technical assistance funded by MCFA, including advice on, for example, product and business model development (e.g. PAYGO and SUM), basic business fundamentals and formalisation, strategy and human resource management.<ul><li>Unable to interpret the "2023/02/31" input value as valid date or time component with "Month 2 in year 2023 did not have 31 days in this calendar model." being reported.</li> <!--br--><li>"Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe" is not in the list (Worldwide, Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, ...) of allowed values for the "Country Opportunity" property.</li></ul>
