Applications for funding under the Country Programmes and Green Recovery Challenge Fund are open to international and local non-governmental organisations (NGOs), civil society organisations, research institutes, think tanks, consultancies and private sector companies, professional associations or similar organisations that have the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver capacity building projects relating to identified priority sectors.

It is also possible to register as an individual on the expert roster for UK PACT’s Skill-Shares and Secondments. Roster members will be required to have a high level of technical expertise within their field(s) and a track record of relevant experience. We are interested in people from a range of professions, including, but not limited to, policy makers, financial experts, lawyers, programme managers, engineers, academics, and consultants.

UK PACT is a demand-led programme and the sectors in which it works vary according to the specific needs, priorities and opportunities in each country of operation. Priority sectors of greatest emissions reduction potential and where UK PACT can provide the most relevant capacity-building support have been identified through an exercise of stakeholder consultations and demand scoping with key beneficiaries in each partner country under the Country Programmes and with key stakeholder groups to inform the focus of the Green Recovery Challenge Fund windows. These cover a wide range of sectors critical for achieving carbon emissions reductions, including green finance, energy, mobility, forests and land use, sustainable livelihoods, and climate policy.
