Clean Energy Strategy – Innovative Solutions Through Microfinance and Digital Payments
Training opportunity

Tuesday, September 18, 2018 to Thursday, September 20, 2018

Innovative approaches are needed to address the needs of the 1.3 billion people lacking electricity, while simultaneously transitioning to a decarbonized energy system. For example, Bangladesh and Kenya have developed thriving self-sustaining markets for off grid lighting products. Learning from their experience and adjusting their approaches to local circumstances can help other countries to join the off-grid solar success story.

Therefore, helping people purchase clean energy options and participate in decentralized networks is key to the success of many programs. However lending for off-grid energy products is outside the core business of traditional financial institutions for a variety of reasons among which lack of technical capacity to assess product quality. This training program will consider innovative ideas to address some of the challenges relating to clean energy.
