For the UNIDO A2D Facility – Demonstration projects in developing countriesThe opportunity presented by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) represents a crucial milestone for boosting innovation and sustainability in nations like Cape Verde. This initiative aims to support the implementation of demonstration projects that serve as practical and replicable models, focused on the adoption of cleaner and more efficient technologies and practices in the production process. The primary objective is to demonstrate the value of innovative solutions for industrially and environmentally responsible development, thus catalyzing positive long-term change.
Cape Verde, with its privileged geographical position and a growing focus on energy transition and the blue economy, is ideally positioned to benefit from this Facility. The possibility of receiving technical and financial support for demonstration projects in areas such as renewable energy, waste management, water efficiency, or the development of sustainable industries opens up an unprecedented range of opportunities. These projects not only aim to solve specific challenges faced by the archipelago, but also serve as a platform for the transfer of knowledge and technology, strengthening local capacities and creating green jobs.
Through the UNIDO A2D Facility, Cape Verdean companies and institutions are invited to submit proposals that align their vision for the future with real impact. The demonstration project model is particularly effective as it provides concrete evidence of the viability and economic, social, and environmental benefits of new technologies. This, in turn, can attract additional investment and facilitate the large-scale adoption of sustainable practices in various sectors of the economy, from agriculture to tourism and small industry. This is a vital step in accelerating Cape Verde's sustainable development agenda.
Through this initiative, UNIDO reinforces its commitment to supporting developing countries on their journey towards inclusive and sustainable industrialization. Collaboration with local partners, community engagement, and dissemination of demonstration project results are key elements to maximizing impact and ensuring the durability of implemented solutions. We firmly believe that this Facility is a powerful catalyst for economic and environmental transformation in Cape Verde.
Applications for the UNIDO A2D Facility – Demonstration Projects in Developing Countries are now open. The deadline for submitting proposals is... June 18, 2026For more information and access to the application platform, please visit: https://www.ungm.org/Public/Notice/297738
