The United Nations Environment Programme has initiated an African Rural Energy Enterprise Development (AREED) initiative.

AREED seeks to develop new sustainable energy enterprises that use clean, efficient, and renewable energy technologies to meet the energy needs of under-served populations, thereby reducing the environmental and health consequences of existing energy use patterns.

The AREED approach offers rural energy entrepreneurs a combination of enterprise development services and start-up financing. This integrated financial and technical support allows entrepreneurs to plan and structure their companies in a manner that prepares them for growth and makes eventual investments by mainstream financial partners less risky.

What AREED has to offer:

- Training and tools to help entrepreneurs start and develop energy businesses

- Enterprise start-up support in areas such as business planning, structuring and financing

- Seed capital for early stage enterprise development

- Partnerships with banks and NGOs involved in rural energy development
