We are pleased to announce that today the UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) programme has launched a new funding opportunity for clean energy transition projects in Kenya
Kenya-UK PACT is inviting eligible organisations to submit proposals for innovative, capacity-building projects that support Kenya’s just transition ambitions. The deadline for applications is 29 January 2025, 17.00 EAT/ 14:00 UTC.
What are we looking for?
As a demand-led programme, the Kenya-UK PACT Country Fund aims to align its support with the Government of Kenya’s existing plans and policies. Through consultation with the Government of Kenya, UK PACT has identified key opportunities in clean energy transition.
The following projects have been identified for funding within this call for proposals:
- Clean cooking: Enhancement of local manufacturing and energy crop cultivation for clean cooking supply chains.
- Clean cooking: Accelerating clean cooking adoption: A data-driven approach and capacity building.
- Integrated national energy planning: Technical Support for Integrated Energy Planning.
- Off grid solutions: Fostering clean energy entrepreneurship: A youth focused approach.
- Off grid solutions: Accelerating Rural and Urban electrification with innovative energy technologies.
We invite all organisations with relevant experience in delivering technical assistance and capacity-building projects in the clean energy sectors to register. This could be Think tanks, academic institutions, NGOs, private companies, professional associations or similar organisations that have the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver technical assistance projects relating to one of the thematic areas outlined.
As of 2024, organisations operated on a for-profit basis can participate as a partner, both within a consortium or as the lead implementing partner of a proposal; however, projects must be delivered on a not-for-profit basis.
Government agencies and/or departments are not eligible to apply either as a lead organisation, or as a partner organisation within a consortium.
