Compiled from public sources

The Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA) is a multi-donor special fund managed by the African Development Bank. It provides catalytic finance to unlock private sector investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency across Africa. The fund operates through three strategic pillars: Green Baseload, Green Mini-Grids, and Energy Efficiency. SEFA offers technical assistance grants and concessional investment instruments, including equity and junior debt, to de-risk projects and bridge the gap between early-stage development and commercial financing.
