The Benefits for Women and Marginalised Groups of the DFCD

In international agreements, rich industrialised countries such as the Netherlands have committed to provide climate finance to support countries in the Global South to take climate action. However, climate finance often fails to reach the most marginalised groups. In 2019, the Dutch government launched a new fund: the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD). This ActionAid report reveals that that overall local communities, women and marginalised groups are not sufficiently involved or equally benefiting from the DFCD projects.
