Village Power is excited to announce an ambitious project that we are undertaking over the next two years with the support of the United Nations Capital Development Fund’s CleanStart Programme in Uganda. We’ll be working to develop a number of tools to facilitate investment into Solar PAYG companies. Stay tuned!
UNCDF is the UN’s capital investment agency for the world’s 48 least developed countries (LDCs). With its capital mandate and instruments, UNCDF offers “last mile” finance models that unlock public and private resources, especially at the domestic level, to reduce poverty and support local economic development. This last mile is where available resources for development are scarcest; where market failures are most pronounced; and where benefits from national growth tend to leave people excluded.
