My enterprise provides clean off-grid energy solutions in Zambia, therefore, I am looking for a relevant funding opportunity, can you assist? 

I assume that we have brought you information about an opportunity that exactly matches your interest.

The United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) is currently accepting applications for Debt Funding to Strengthen Clean Off-Grid Energy Sector in Zambia.

UNCDF recognizes the challenges currently faced by the supply side of off-grid energy that includes increasing costs of operations, longer repayment terms required by end customers resulting in lock-up of working capital, and lately negative effects of the depreciating Kwacha (local currency).

Zambia’s Vision 2030 provides the following sector goals for energy: “Universal access to clean, reliable and affordable energy at the lowest total economic, financial, social and environmental cost consistent with national development goals by 2030”. Specific targets include:

• Abundant and reliable supply of affordable energy to both urban and rural areas. Increased renewable alternative sources of energy.
• Export-led energy industry.
• Reduce the share of wood fuel to 40 percent by 2030.

The deadline to submit applications for this program is 28-Mar-21.
