ESMAP is unique.
At the core of the World Bank Group, backed by 20 donor partners, it delivers what others can’t.
- In Sub‑Saharan Africa, two decades of action have sparked thriving markets for affordable, high‑quality off‑grid energy—bringing power to millions beyond the grid and creating livelihoods.
- Through the Clean Cooking Fund, ESMAP is moving households away from harmful fuels—improving health and freeing women’s time for education, work, and income‑generating activities.
- With SRMI, ESMAP and partners are helping countries develop bankable renewable energy pipelines, de‑risking projects, crowding in private capital, and driving employment.
ESMAP connects the dots—bridging governments and the private sector and creating the conditions for private sector investment and jobs in clean energy.
