## Overview of IATI Activity ## **ALUE/African Circular Economy** Publisher: **Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland** IATI Identifier: **FI-3-2025-2025250153** Last updated: **15/02/2026, 00:44** The African Circular Economy Facility (ACEF) was established by Finland, the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the Nordic Development Fund (NDF), with the Coca-Cola Foundation joining in 2024.
The Facility’s objective is to mainstream circular economy solutions in Africa by supporting the transformation of production and consumption in line with circular economy principles. It strengthens the capacity of public and private sector actors, encourages the creation of new business models, and produces policy guidelines, capacity-building programs, and pilot projects.
Since April 2022, ACEF has financed circular economy roadmaps in five countries, advanced circular economy mainstreaming in Africa and in international contexts, supported business incubators in three capital cities, and strengthened the work of the African Circular Economy Alliance Secretariat.
Promoting the circular economy supports climate policy and long-term emission reductions, reduces pollution and biodiversity loss, and lowers the need for raw material extraction. Finland supports the Facility with €4 million during 2022–2026 as well as expert support (€0. 6m + €0.
