Country Demonstrators

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Post in the Pacific’s contribution to this World’s Bank initiative will fund technical studies and provide targeted technical assistance to inform the development of demonstrator projects. Co-funded by FCDO’s Post in the Pacific through the TEA partnership with ESMAP.

The project includes five work packages with some delivered across all PICs whereas others will be undertaken on PICs with the poorest electrification rates. Initial analysis will be undertaken with deep dives into regional liaison, market intelligence, mapping current solar market potential and creating an enabling environment are key priority areas for CLEARPICS and pioneer markets such as Fiji will support as a reference case. Led by the Pacific Community (SPC).

By facilitating this transition, ENACTUS will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the mobilisation of both public and private finance for clean cooking initiatives. The intervention is designed to drive a transformational change in urban clean cooking solutions, promoting long-term sustainability and resilience. The project is funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Post in Uganda to the value of £1m, and it builds on the success generated during the previous phase of work to keep supporting the development of a wider and deeper enabling environment for implementation of public sector enabled, market-led improved and clean cooking access solutions in the GKMA area, while also enhancing the capacity of local and national government authorities for sustainable and scaled implementation of clean cooking interventions.

Funded by Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in Somalia to extend the electricity grid to the resettlement area of Barwaaqo and Northern Baidoa, the Enter Energy Somalia (EES) is a Public-Private-Partnership project.

Access to PURE appliances can be a critical strategy for refugees and asylum seekers for increasing incomes, enhancing resilience, reducing demand for firewood, and improving community relations. Rwanda hosts a significant and growing refugee population (over 135,000, as of April 2024). Access to energy for households and small businesses in refugee camp settings is extremely limited, hindering economic opportunities for refugees and exacerbating reliance on ongoing humanitarian support. Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in Rwanda.

ASCENT aims to deliver electricity access to 4 million people across the region. Co-funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Post in Tanzania through the TEA partnership with ESMAP, REIF will use the FCDO´s contribution to expand energy access in underserved areas and promote the productive uses of clean energy.
