With support from the Wallace Global Fund (WGF), The Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship partnered with the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) to assess the landscape of efforts to bring clean, affordable, and distributed energy to the energy poor in East and Southern Africa. The report explores the issues and opportunities related to the financing of off-grid energy provision in Africa, primarily focusing on the provision of small home systems for individual households or through village microgrids.
