ESMAP’s substantive contributions to the preparation of this complex initiative, including the design of the Liquidity Enhancement Revolving Fund (LERF) have been instrumental in developing this project.
The project received US$245.8 million from IDA. It includes a US$10 million clean cooking component, co-financed by US$5 million from IDA and US$5 million from ESMAP RETF.
ESMAP has supported the preparation of this MPA through grants, including contributions from the ESMAP-associated Advancing Regional Energy Projects in Southern and Eastern Africa MDTF (funded by Sida), as well as through in-kind support.
ESMAP has been instrumental in developing the project with a US$400,000 grant to enable due diligence and finance preparatory activities, and a US$300,000 grant to ensure project readiness for financing.
