Green for Access First Loss Facility (G4A)
Current as of: 2026-03-10
Description
With support from the IKEA Foundation, CLASP and the P4G Platform, GreenMax manages the Green for Access First Loss Facility (G4A), a risk mitigation fund that partners with local financial institutions in Africa to facilitate local currency lending to the energy access and e-mobility sectors. G4A has a tiered fund structure, blending grant funds in the first loss tranche of the fund’s capital stack with private philanthropic and impact junior debt in the middle tranche, followed by senior loans from DFIs in the top tranches. G4A’s inaugural product is a physical cash deposit fund placed with local lenders to cover up to the first 20% of loss across a portfolio of energy access loans.
