UNDP/OFID Energy Access SMEs Development Project

UNDP/OFID Energy Access SMEs 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 OFID-funded “Energy Access SMEs Development” project aims to scale-up private sector engagement in energy access by improving the risk-return profile of private investment in energy access products and services. The key objective of the project is to expand energy access and provide reliable, affordable and sustainable energy products and services for the rural population of Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic, through promoting scalable, private sector-led business models and de-risking their investment.
