Summary

The Beyond the Grid Fund for Zambia, or BGFZ, has launched a transformative initiative by expanding its funding initiative from a single country to include Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Liberia, and Uganda. This strategic pivot reflects the earlier pilot programme, which generated significant initial impacts and encouraged private investment by mobilising private capital. The new scope builds upon the successful outcomes of early rural and peri-urban customer interest in affordable off-grid energy services.

This expansion represents a key milestone in BGFZ's operational evolution. By moving beyond its initial focus, the fund is now engaging with a wider array of economies to drive inclusive growth. This broadening of scope is essential for long-term sustainability, ensuring that the same innovative energy access strategies can be replicated across different African regions.

The implementation of the Uganda sub-programme further demonstrates BGFZ's capability to address critical gaps in skills development. This joint approach highlights how the Fund is transforming its approach to energy solutions, creating employment opportunities alongside technical capacity building in specific contexts. These efforts underscore the Fund's ability to leverage both traditional knowledge and modern financing methods to foster community empowerment.
