UNDP/GEF Green Energy and SME Development Project

UNDP/GEF Green Energy and SME Development Project 

UNDP in Tajikistan works to facilitate the transformation of Tajikistan’s energy sector, in particular the emergence of independent energy entrepreneurs, which can offer affordable and sustainable energy products and services to the rural population. Currently, UNDP implements two projects on renewable energy in the country: The GEF Green Energy and Small and Medium Enterprise Development project and the OFID Energy Access SMEs Development project.

The UNDP/GEF-funded project “Green Energy Small and Medium Enterprises consists of three inter-linked components dealing with policy de-risking, financial de-risking and incentives, and a fourth cross-cutting component that addresses knowledge-related gaps. The aim is to lower policy barriers for green energy enterprises/SMEs, facilitate access to green energy finance at affordable terms, and develop and improve green energy products and services and bring them to the market.
