National Development Financing, Carbon-Backed Sovereign Bond Programmes, and Infrastructure Capital Formation for Emerging Market Nations.

ACT! Emerging Markets Division

A Unique Financing Solution for Emerging Market Nations

In strategic partnership with Green Bond Corporation and Carbon Capital Corporation, ACT! offers emerging market sovereign entities a structured programme framework for accessing international project funding and institutional capital - delivered at no cost to the sovereign counterparty.

In Brief
Many emerging nations have ambitious development plans and valuable natural capital - but lack the institutional infrastructure to access international financing efficiently. Our Sovereign Engagement Framework bridges that gap, connecting sovereign priorities with global capital markets through a zero-cost, discipline-driven programme.

Our Core Offerings

Comprehensive sovereign financing solutions

National Development Financing

End-to-end structured financing for nationally significant infrastructure, energy, and sustainable development projects aligned with sovereign policy priorities.

Carbon-Backed Sovereign Bond Programmes

Innovative bond structures backed by high-integrity carbon credits, improving programme economics and unlocking new sources of capital for sovereign entities.

Infrastructure Capital Formation

Mobilisation of international institutional capital for large-scale infrastructure and development projects through disciplined project preparation and structured financing.

Integrated Delivery Team

Three complementary capabilities under one coordinated programme

Lead Arranger

Green Bond Corporation (GBC)

Structured finance across debt, equity, and bond issuances. Investor engagement, syndication, and capital mobilisation. Development of high-integrity carbon credit programmes.

Programme Architect & Carbon Execution Authority

Carbon Capital Corporation (CCC)

Sovereign-scale natural capital and carbon-backed programme design. Institutional governance architecture and carbon credit registration under international frameworks including Article 6.

Strategic Global Partner

Asian Climate Technologies VCC (ACT!)

Relationship management, Asian institutional engagement, and deployment of ACT!'s decarbonisation solutions platform where relevant to the sovereign programme.

Together, GBC, CCC, and ACT! provide an integrated institutional capability spanning programme design, capital stack structuring, carbon credit registration and monetisation, bond origination and distribution, grant-funded project preparation, partnership management, and long-term programme governance.

Two Engagement Pathways

Tailored to project readiness

A

Projects Requiring Preparation

For projects that have not yet completed the technical, legal, environmental, financial, and governance work required to become investment-ready. The delivery team arranges grant funding through international project preparation facilities and concessional development finance mechanisms.

  • Feasibility studies and technical validation
  • Legal and regulatory framework development
  • Environmental and social impact assessments
  • Financial modelling and capital structure design
  • Carbon credit methodology assessment
  • All preparation costs funded by grant facility - not by the sovereign entity
B

Projects Ready for Structured Funding

For projects that have already demonstrated bankability or where preparation has been completed. The delivery team arranges structured project funding directly.

  • Capital stack structuring across debt, equity, and concessional instruments
  • Green, sustainability-linked, or carbon-backed sovereign bonds
  • Investor engagement, syndication, and distribution
  • Carbon credit registration and monetisation
  • Blended capital solutions
  • Arrangement fees funded from capital raised - standard institutional practice
In Brief
Whether a project still needs preparation work (feasibility, legal, environmental) or is already bankable and ready for capital, our framework handles both - and neither pathway costs the sovereign entity anything. All fees are covered through the financing structures themselves.

Structured Engagement Pathway

From initial alignment through to project funding

STEP 01

Expression of Interest

The sovereign entity provides a formal expression of interest confirming willingness to engage on the identification, structuring, and funding of nationally significant projects.

STEP 02

Project Identification & Assessment

A list of priority projects and programmes requiring funding is provided, together with supporting documentation. Each project is assessed against financing and carbon eligibility criteria.

STEP 03

Memorandum of Understanding

A formal MOU confirms scope, roles, and responsibilities. The framework supports either grant-funded project preparation or direct progression to structured funding.

STEP 04

Grant-Funded Project Preparation

For projects not yet investment-ready, the delivery team arranges grant funding through international facilities to cover feasibility studies, legal, financial, environmental, and governance work.

STEP 05

Structured Funding & Capital Mobilisation

Capital stack design, investor engagement, syndication, activation of carbon credit monetisation, and progression to financial close and first drawdown.

Zero-Cost Engagement Model

No fees, no budget allocation, no expenditure commitment from the sovereign entity

StageWho PaysCounterparty Cost

Carbon Credit FacilitationBrokerage paid from the carbon credit revenue streamNil
In Brief
Every stage of the engagement is designed so that the sovereign entity bears no cost. The delivery team funds initial engagement from its own resources. Project preparation is funded through international grant facilities. Structured funding fees come from the capital raised. Carbon facilitation fees come from the carbon revenue stream.
