We believe that businesses and markets can offer the best solutions to the lack of access to energy – one of the most pervasively debilitating aspects of poverty that holds back sub-Saharan Africa’s development.

For businesses to grow and markets to expand, certain resources need to be in place, and in much of the developing world they are hard to come by: technology, skills, delivery networks and capital.

Our initiatives are designed to help businesses overcome these gaps. We champion comprehensive market system approaches so that companies and markets can flourish, providing reliable, affordable, and clean energy for all. By identifying gaps and collaborating across the energy value chain, we create holistic solutions that go beyond mere provision, supporting communities to harness energy for improved livelihoods, food security, and low carbon development.
