work has equipped the team to try a

larger scale pilot, with around 500-800

farmers in the next farming season.

Analytics will be integrated with

a new communications channel

for interacting directly with

farmers. In the first growing

season, design interactive voice

response content and

communications specifically

targeting Malawi maize farmers

in the Central and Southern

regions of the country, the

guidance for farmers will center

Call for Partnerships 2020 Application for the P4G Partnership Fund Launch: September 17, 2019

Close: November 14, 2019

P4G, the Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 Initiative, is pleased to announce its 2020 call for applications. Additional materials and information will be available at p4gpartnerships.org on the launch date.

About P4G

P4G is an international initiative supported by countries, businesses, international organizations and academia including research organizations and civil society to fund and accelerate innovative public-private partnerships that advance solutions to humanity’s greatest needs within the following sectors: food and agriculture, water and sanitation, energy, cities, and the circular economy. P4G offers acceleration, co-funding support, and recognition to

these partnerships to help prove the validity of a business model, launch a pilot or accelerate growth to create a sustainable venture.

P4G’s initial partner countries are Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mexico, the

Netherlands, the Republic of Korea, and Vietnam. Partner organizations include the Global Green

Growth Institute (GGGI), C40 Cities, the World Economic Forum, the IFC, UN Global

Compact and hosting partner World Resources Institute (WRI). Other countries are expected to

join P4G later in 2019. P4G is funded by the governments of Denmark and the Netherlands.

The P4G Partnership Fund

P4G will provide funding to partnerships in the start-up and scale-up phases of development.

• Start-up: Promising, early-stage partnerships that need support to consolidate the

partnership or test the feasibility of innovative approaches.  

Eligible for funding of up to USD 100,000

• Scale-up: Partnerships that are already engaged in promising, business-driven green

growth innovations and need support to scale up and accelerate their impact. 

Eligible for funding of up to USD 1 million

P4G funding is for a period of one to two years, depending on the needs of the partnership.

P4G also helps to accelerate its most promising funded partnerships. Acceleration activities may

include convening investors, businesses and governments around new business models;

connecting the partnership to government stakeholders to advocate for policies that

enable favorable market conditions; matching known solutions to new market opportunities; and

highlighting the partnership at global events.

Partnership Application Process

Key Characteristics of a P4G Partnership

1. Sector focus: Promotes market-based solutions that require cross-sector collaboration in

one or more of five SDG sector areas: Zero Hunger (2); Clean Water and Sanitation (6);

Affordable and Clean Energy (7); Sustainable Cities and Communities (11); Responsible

Consumption and Production (12).

2. Start-up or Scale-up: Is in start-up phase or scale-up phase, past the initial concept

development phase.

3. Country Focus: Start-up partnership activities must benefit Bangladesh, Colombia,

Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, South Africa, and/or Vietnam. P4G has a strong

preference for scale-up partnerships whose activities benefit these countries, as well,

but will also consider exceptional scale-up partnership applications that benefit other

eligible developing countries.1

4. Impact and Additionality: Addresses barriers that must be overcome to accelerate

commercially viable means of accomplishing the SDGs and is additive to what is already

happening in the business and international development arenas.

5. Innovation and Growth: Meaningfully contributes to new models for change that will

advance overall green economic growth with commercially viable and replicable business

models.

6. Implementation Partners: Is led by a non-commercial organization, has at least one

private sector partner, has support from a relevant government entity, and has the

capacity to succeed.

7. Market-based: The business case, or the commercial potential, is the foundation for

achieving the partnership’s development objective and fostering sustainable change.

8. Value-Add: Actively engages with and grows P4G networks to create global momentum

toward tackling the SDGs through market-driven approaches.

The application guidelines, which will be available at the application’s launch, will provide details

on the expected roles and responsibilities of partners on the project, eligible countries and

organizations, co-funding requirements, and more.
