Africa Investment Technical Assistance Facility
PwC
The UK-Africa Investment Summit aimed to drive increased investment into Africa and long-term inclusive growth. The UK Government established a Technical Assistance (TA) Facility to support the preparation and delivery of Summit content. It provided analysis, digital content and factsheets, as well as support to the delivery of a series of pre-Summit events. The UK-Africa Investment Summit TA Facility was led by PwC and drew on expertise from an alliance that included WAVTEQ, Vivid Economics, OCO Global, WG Inclusive and Adam Smith International. The contract is being extended to build on the legacy of the Summit to monitor impact, deliver scoping studies and technical advice around trade and investment in Africa, particularly related to Covid-19. The alliance remains the same, with the addition of Wellspring Development Capital.

Climate Finance Accelerator
PwC
The Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) is a four-year (2020-2024) technical assistance programme developed by the International Climate Finance (ICF) Team of the UK Government’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The CFA is being delivered by an Alliance led by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC UK) with support from Ricardo-AEA and a number of other organisations and independent subcontractors. Lack of funding and technical support, an unsupportive policy environment, and now the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, can present considerable obstacles in the climate finance supply chain for low-carbon projects in middle-income countries. The CFA aims to tackle those challenges by supporting countries to develop a sustainable pipeline of bankable, low-carbon projects in the context of the ever-growing need for sustainable recovery triggered by the pandemic.

The five year programme began in October 2017 and aims to enhance the economic empowerment of 300,000 women working in global value chains by September 2022. It will achieve this goal by supporting businesses, organisations and programmes that are ready and willing to act on women’s economic empowerment; enabling players across the supply chain ecosystem to drive change; and influencing the UK and global agenda on women’s economic empowerment. WOW is being delivered by a consortium of global experts at the cutting edge of women’s economic empowerment research, program design, and delivery—including PwC, BSR, CARE International, the University of Manchester, and Social Development Direct. WOW’s priority sectors are garments, agriculture and personal care.

To date, the programme is working in India, Bangladesh, Kenya, Nepal, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda and South Africa. In January 2020 it was announced that the WOW programme would receive a further £5.1 million in funding to extend the programme by two years to September 2024 with the intention of reaching a further 100,000 women in sub-Saharan Africa.

Wasichana Wote Wasome / Wasichana Wetu Wafaulu
Education Development Trust
Our recent work in Kenya with marginalised girls has been in two phases. Firstly we designed and delivered Wasichana Wote Wasome ('let all girls learn' in Swahili), that practically addressed the issues of low levels of enrolment and retention as well as poor learning outcomes for marginalised girls. As a natural continuation, we are currently delivering Wasichana Wetu Wafaulu ('let all girls succeed') whereby we are working to remove cultural and socio-economic barriers that have prevented these same marginalised girls from transitioning to secondary school. Both programmes focus their activity in arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) – typically populated by nomadic, pastoral communities – and in urban slums targeting more than 500 schools and some 80,000 girls. Education Development Trust is the lead partner in a consortium including Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT), Concern Worldwide, Pastoral Girls Initiative (PGI), Kesho Kenya and WERK (external evaluator).
