Deadline: 19 August, 2022
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has announced a call for applications for Energy Efficiency Grant in Ghana.
The energy sector in Ghana remains one of the key sectors for transformation to address poverty, climate crisis and build resilience. Greener and cleaner energy use penetration and increased demand-side energy use efficiency are needed in both the formal and informal food production sub-sectors.
The overall objective of the call is therefore to provide technical and financial support towards improved energy production and sustainable waste management to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve worker and public health, and avoid environmental pollution.

- Applicant must provide ten percent of matching funds to be committed towards total cost of the intervention
- Applicant must demonstrate that the project could not go ahead without UNDP funding or that if it would go ahead anyway, it would be at a much-reduced pace or scale
