Description

Carbon Centre of Expertise request for expressions of interest (individuals and firms)

Deadline: 9-Jun-26 @ 5:00pm (EAT)

FSD Africa is establishing a roster of pre-qualified service providers—both individuals and corporate entities—to support the implementation of its Carbon Markets Strategy through the Carbon Centre of Expertise (CoE). The roster will allow FSD Africa to rapidly commission technical assistance, research, advisory work, and implementation support across Africa’s emerging carbon and nature finance landscape.

The Carbon CoE works to leverage carbon markets to mobilise capital for impactful climate action, resilience, and sustainable development across Africa, focusing on strengthening financial institutions, developing innovative financial products, enabling high-integrity market infrastructure, and accelerating high-impact project pipelines.

Pre-qualification through this EOI will ensure that interested experts are considered for shortlisting but is not a guarantee that they will be shortlisted.
