The CFC (an intergovernmental financial institution) provides
financing to organisations and enterprises engaged in commodity value
chains. Through financial support, the CFC seeks to support
implementation of innovative interventions that target new opportunities
in commodity markets leading to commodity based growth, employment
generation, increase in household incomes, reduction in poverty, and
enhancement of food security. The intervention should be scalable,
commercially viable and financially sustainable and have a measurable
positive impact on the stakeholders in commodity value chains.
This is the third call for interested parties to submit proposals which will close on 4 October 2013.

Outcome of Second Open Call for proposals
CFC concludes technical consideration of projects received in the second open call for proposals
The CFC had invited call for proposals in the first quarter of
2013. There was an overwhelming response to call for proposals. The CFC
received over 100 proposals for financing and we would like to thank all
proponents who took time to submit their ideas for consideration by the
CFC. Priority consideration was given to proposals meeting all basic
criteria indicated in the call for proposals, including commodity focus,
co-financing, innovation, clear business and financial model.
The Consultative Committee of the Common Fund for Commodities met in Amsterdam on 1-4 July 2013. With this meeting, the CFC concluded technical consideration of the proposals received in its second open call for proposals. The proposals recommended for further consideration will be reviewed by the Executive Board in October 2013 which will decide the allocation of funds among proposals recommended for financing.
The Consultative Committee recommended twelve proposals for consideration of grant, returnable grant, loan and equity financing. The proponents of the projects recommended for further consideration are being contacted directly.
Due to the high volume of applications, the CFC regrets that it would not be able to provide feedback or enter into correspondence with regard to each submission not recommended for follow-up. The third open call for proposals has been announced on this web site. Any project proposals meeting basic selection criteria can be re-submitted for consideration in the third round.
