Climate Finance Readiness Assessment
Conducted a comprehensive climate finance readiness assessment to support the development of an investment platform and project pipeline aligned with the Ethiopia IKI MI workplan.
The overarching objective of the project was to support both the public and private sectors in creating enabling environments to mobilise private-sector financing for NDC implementation. In Ethiopia, the project specifically aimed to de-risk investments, address institutional barriers, and scale up climate-aligned financing to accelerate the transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient development.
Institutional & Capacity Strengthening
Identified institutional and capacity gaps across key agencies, including the Ethiopian Energy Authority (EEA), Ethiopian Electric Utility (EEU), and other stakeholders, constraining access to climate finance and the development of bankable low-carbon energy projects.
Investment-Ready Solutions
Provided early-stage technical guidance on de-risking instruments and innovative off-grid financing and business models to enhance the commercial viability of mini-grid projects.
