Project context, objectives and description
This project focuses on the establishment of the National Green Energy Fund, a national financing vehicle, which aims to mobilize local and international resources to finance energy access, renewable energy and energy efficient investments, thereby enabling rural off-grid households access to better income and revenue generating activities, leading to improved livelihood. The project also looks to develop bankable green energy proposals and secure funding for implementation. A component of the project looks at capacity building of local counterpart institutions, including in support of the NGEF and development of guidelines and training for sustainable energy in the tourism sector.. Other components of the project look at policy/strategy development to create an enabling environment for green energy investments, including through but not limited to the NGEF.
The project objective is to mobilize local and international funding resources for energy access and green energy projects through establishment of the National Green Energy Fund (NGEF) and through the design of bankable projects. It also focuses on enhancing institutional capacity building of the NGEF, Department of Energy, and other counterpart agencies with NGEF connections and creating an enabling policy environment. This project is aligned with IO2. Increased green growth investment flows which enable partner governments to implement green growth policies and IO3. Improved multi-directional knowledge sharing and learning to empower local and external agents necessary to drive green growth processes in partner governments.
