int) This project consists of (1) establishment of the Energy and Environment Partnership Trust Fund (EEP or Fund) as a multi-donor clean energy financing facility covering 15 countries in Southern and Eastern Africa (SEA) under direct management by NDF and (2) financing of EUR 10 million toward the Fund’s first close.
EEP is a clean energy financing facility providing early stage and catalytic financing primarily for private-sector-led projects in Southern and East Africa (SEA). It was first established as a closed-end programme in 2010 with funding from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland (MFA Finland), the UK Department for International Development (DfID) and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA).
EEP has established a strong brand for delivery and impact, supporting more than 200 pioneering projects leveraging innovative clean energy technologies and energy access business models to transform lives and livelihoods. With the launch of the EEP Trust Fund in January 2018, NDF will ensure that this proven and effective model will remain relevant in a fast changing energy financing landscape.
The new Fund will directly help to realise the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement, while reflecting NDF’s mandate and strategic horizons as a climate finance institution providing financing and knowledge for climate and development. The Fund will build upon and enhance the successes of the first 7 years of programme delivery.
It will establish an open-ended trust fund structure for resource mobilisation on a rolling basis, monitoring and reporting impact indicators over a longer time horizon and leverage NDF flexibility to deploy a more diversified set of blended finance instruments.
The Fund’s overall goal is to contribute directly to achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular: No Poverty (SDG 1); Gender Equality (SDG 5); Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7); Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8); and Climate Action (SDG 13). The Fund will report on key indicators underlying each of these goals.
The fund’s more immediate goal is to enhance access to clean energy in the SEA region, especially among poor and underserved communities, by providing direct financing, facilitating investment, supporting business development, sharing knowledge and promoting policy engagement. It is designed to support countries across the region towards a climate-resilient, zero-carbon future.
The Fund will be a driver of sustainable and inclusive green growth and climate change mitigation by supporting countries across the region toward the realization of a climate resilient, zero-carbon future.
