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.
16 August 2019Partnership 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.
