The project proposes a public–private partnership business model for investing and operating small-scale solar mini-grids, which fits with the country context. The shift from “Build, Operate, Transfer” regional concessions to a public pre-financed concession model will result in triple benefits: (1) increased energy access for remote areas of the country; (2) privatesector contribution achieved through lowering the initial investment cost; and (3) realizing a uniform tariff across the country, with an electricity price that aligns with affordability for the poorest. It sets a good example in terms of country ownership, with a significant level of co-financing by the country which then partners with the GCF in de-risking energy access activities to reach levels acceptable to the private sector and affordable to the communities.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF GREEN CLIMATE FUND
The Independent Redress Mechanism (IRM) addresses complaints by people who believe they are negatively affected or may be affected by projects or programmes funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The complainant can raise issues related to any of GCF’s policies and procedures, including those relating to social and environmental issues, indigenous peoples, gender, and information disclosure, among others. If you submit a complaint to the IRM, it may seek to address the issues raised by facilitating problem solving or conducting a compliance process. You can learn more about the Independent Redress Mechanism and how to file a complaint at https://irm.greenclimate.fund/.
