Mali.Trust Funded Additional Financing for the Mali Household Energy and Universal Access Project

The objective of the Trust Funded Additional Financing for the Mali Household Energy and Universal Access (HEURA) Project is to support the Government of Mali's efforts to increase access of isolated low income populations to basic energy services to help achieve economic growth and poverty reduction targets, including those linked with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The trust funded additional financing to the HEURA project will allow the implementation of scale-up activities towards achieving a greater impact on the ground by: (i) scaling up rural energy access with a focus on renewable energies; (ii) by financing a strategic capacity development and technical assistance program to further strengthen the technical and managerial capacities of Agence Malienne pour le Developpement de l'Energie Domestique et d'Electrification Rurale (AMADER) and local energy service companies (ESCOs), and (iii) by promoting partnerships between AMADER and other energy sector initiatives at the national, regional, and global levels in view to attract future financing to scale up, in a sustainable manner, energy access expansion and productive energy uses in Mali.
