|OD Description=Through the CAP Financial Innovation Challenge, UNDP will crowdsource Innovative Financial Aggregation Structures and Models for small-scale, low-carbon energy assets in developing countries. Successful applicants will be awarded up to US$ 40,000 to develop the proposed innovations.

What is the objective of the CAP Financial Innovation Challenge?

*Foster the development of Innovative Financial Aggregation Structures and Models that can help increase the availability and reduce the cost of financing for low-carbon energy in developing countries. And, in doing so, help close the investment gap to achieve universal energy access.
*Facilitate the transfer of know-how and innovative solutions that can help overcome development challenges in developing countries and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, notably SDG 7 on clean, affordable energy for all and SDG 13 on climate action.

What do the winners get?

*Receive an award of up to US$40,000 to develop a Feasibility Study (over a period of 4 months) for an Innovative Financial Aggregation Structure or Model.
*UNDP will promote the selected Innovative Financial Aggregation Structures or Models within UNDP and to a broader audience across its network.
*Possibility to access the UNDP global presence (+170 countries) and networks to help support the selected solutions to scale-up and replicate to new countries.
*Promising solutions could later be considered for further engagement as part of UNDP’s Sustainable Energy Hub or other UNDP initiatives.

Who can participate?

A wide range of entities can apply as long as they can demonstrate their capacity to develop novel aggregative approaches to financing low-carbon energy and meet the eligibility criteria (see below). This includes:

*"Buy-side" actors: Commercial banks (international or domestic), development banks, impact and mission-driven investors, financial intermediaries, digital and crowdfunding platforms, FinTech, etc.
*"Sell-side" Actors: Project originators or developers and energy companies, such as distributed energy service companies (DESCOS), paygo solar companies, etc.
