CEADIR's results include new tools and methods in clean energy, sustainable landscapes, and adaptation, including survey instruments for quantifying the economic value of mangroves, climate-smart cacao practices, and livestock management improvements. During its activity, CEADIR provided technical assistance to 89 financial institutions and its work contributed to development of 1,467 on- or off-grid power connections and $6.7 million in loans in Ghana and Rwanda for 6.84 megawatts of renewable energy. CEADIR helped mobilize $17.7 million in clean energy lending, including a $10.8 million loan guarantee through the USAID DCA in El Salvador and Guatemala. CEADIR developed 10 public-private partnerships for urban disaster risk reduction in India. CEADIR assessed the potential of the private sector and impact investors in Madagascar and provided training to USAID partners on climate adaptation and sustainable livelihoods with biodiversity benefits.
This final report includes recommendations from CEADIR on clean energy, sustainable landscapes, climate adaptation and cross-cutting finance.
