Vasudha Foundation is engaged with the African Development Bank on Energy Access and clean energy deployment
5+
PartnersThe engagement with the AFDB started in 2017 and the first major programme that was initiated in 2017 with the AfDB was to bring together social entrepreneurs working in the clean energy and energy access space from both India and Africa to brainstorm on strategies for scaling up energy access in Africa and to explore setting up of a platform of social entrepreneurs from India and Africa to regularly share knowledge, experience and perspectives on energy access solutions and scale up. This platform was launched at Gandhinagar, India in the presence of senior functionaries of the African Development Bank and at the sidelines of the Annual Meeting of the African Development Bank which was held in Gandhinagar in that year.
Since then our engagement with the AFDB has been at multiple fronts ranging from data driven programme formulation for energy access to creating monitoring mechanisms to track the progress of various energy access projects of the AfDB and the World Bank Group such as Mission300, dessert to power etc.
