The United Nations Environment Programme's Rural Energy Enterprise Development
(REED) initiative operates in Africa as AREED to develop new sustainable
energy enterprises that use clean, efficient, and renewable energy technologies.
These new enterprises can meet the energy needs of under-served populations
while reducing the environmental and health consequences of existing energy
use, particularly low quality biomass fuels such as wood and dung.
AREED offers rural energy entrepreneurs in Mali, Ghana, Tanzania, Senegal
and Zambia a combination of enterprise development services and start-up
financing. This integrated financial and technical support allows entrepreneurs
to plan and structure their companies for growth and makes eventual investments
by mainstream financial partners possible.
