ABOUT THE POWER AFRICA OFF-GRID PROJECT
The USAID-funded Power Africa Off-grid Project (‘PAOP’) provides technical assistance and targeted grant funding to support the development of Africa’s off-grid solar home system (SHS) and mini-grid sectors. Through a team of resident technical advisors across East and West Africa, PAOP works with companies, investors, and governments to advance the role of the private sector in extending energy access.
By offering broad-based market intelligence to investors/financiers to inform financial product design, advising governments on establishing supportive policy frameworks, and providing hands-on support to companies, PAOP is helping to build the off-grid market to accelerate private sector-led energy access.
