Mobilizing innovative climate finance

Nedamco Africa bridges climate initiatives and global capital markets through innovative financing solutions and cutting-edge technology. By connecting measurable environmental outcomes to global investment opportunities, we create a sustainable funding model for impactful climate solutions.

Core Components of the Financing Model

Nedamco Africa’s financing model revolves around generating and monetizing environmental credits, such as carbon, water, and plastic credits. These credits are based on verifiable data from satellite imagery and international, national, and local datasources. Verification and auditing of data and dataflows is conducted in collaboration with leading Big 4 auditing firms, ensuring data integrity and compliance with global standards.

By obtaining letters of authorization from governments, we secure the rights to sell environmental credits on their behalf. These agreements ensure that all necessary data can be utilized in our solutions while complying with GDPR regulations, safeguarding privacy and data security.

Our technology platform integrates the newly launched blockchain-based Microsoft Environmental Credit Services (ECS) solution. ECS, a component of Microsoft’s Sustainability Manager, enables the administration, monitoring, and auditing of digitally created environmental credits. By managing credits through ECS, we ensure transparency, traceability, and the elimination of double counting.

Microsoft Environmental Credit Services

Environmental credits are sold through long-term offtake agreements to corporations worldwide, enabling them to offset their environmental footprints with water, carbon, and plastic credits. These agreements, lasting up to 20 years, allow corporate buyers to secure their offsetting needs for the future while locking in today’s prices.

Funds for climate projects are raised through Green Bonds, secured by long-term offtake agreements that guarantee interest and principal payments. This enables governments to invest in climate interventions such as:

  • Water management upgrades
  • Catchment restoration
  • Land conservation
  • Biodiversity preservation

 

How It Works

  1. Investment: Investors purchase Green Bonds.
  2. Fund Management: the World Bank manages the proceeds, directing them to approved environmental projects.
  3. Revenue Generation: Climate Projects generate income through environmental credits, which repay bondholders, covering principal and interest.

 

This creates a robust, self-sustaining financing model for long-term impact.

Verification and Monitoring

Transparency, credibility, and accuracy are core to Nedamco Africa’s approach. By collaborating with Big 4 auditing firms and utilizing Microsoft ECS for immutable data storage, we ensure all environmental credits are 100% digital, fully traceable, and compliant with global standards. An impact dashboard, managed by Anthropogenic – an independent third party – provides real-time insights into project outcomes, enabling stakeholders to track credits and bond performance.

By combining innovative financing, advanced technologies, reporting capabilities and local capacity building, Nedamco Africa offers scalable, transparent, and impactful solutions to global climate and environmental challenges.
