We are pleased to announce that today the UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) programme has launched a new funding opportunity for Climate Policy and Governance projects in Nigeria
Nigeria-UK PACT is inviting eligible organisations to submit proposals for innovative, capacity-building projects that support Nigeria’s climate change mitigation ambitions. The deadline for applications is 3 April 2025, at 17.00 (WAT)/ 16:00 (UTC).
What are we looking for?
As a demand-led programme, the Nigeria-UK PACT Country Fund aims to align its support with the Government of Nigeria’s existing plans and policies. Through consultation with the Government of Nigeria, UK PACT has identified key opportunities in the Climate Policy and Governance sector.
The following projects have been identified for funding within this call for proposals:
- Strengthening Climate Governance and Policy Implementation: Enhancing Nigeria’s capacity in global climate negotiations
- Data and Monitoring for Climate Action: Building robust climate data and MRV systems
- Private Sector Climate Action: Enhancing private sector capacity for climate action
Who can apply?
We invite all organisations with relevant experience and expertise in delivering technical assistance projects in the climate policy and governance sector to register. This could be Think tanks, academic institutions, NGOs, private companies, professional associations or similar organisations that have the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver technical assistance projects relating to one of the thematic areas outlined.
As of 2024, organisations operated on a for-profit basis can participate as a partner, both within a consortium or as the lead implementing partner of a proposal; however, projects must be delivered on a not-for-profit basis.
Government agencies and/ or departments are not eligible to apply either as a lead organisation, or as a partner organisation within a consortium.However, we work closely with the government in the co-creation and implementation of projects.

UK PACT has been partnering with Nigeria since September 2021 to support the acceleration of climate policy implementation and low-carbon economic development. To date, UK PACT projects in Nigeria have helped to drive the just transition through technical assistance for clean energy transitions, climate policy and governance, green finance, and nature-based solutions.
