ECONOMIC CONSULTING ASSOCIATES

ECA was engaged to develop the Access to Finance business line of the Green Minigrid (GMG) Market development Programme from AfDB. Activities under this business line included the design of a financing facility in support of GMG rural consumer connections, a commercial financiers’ capacity needs assessment and subsequently design of a training program linked to envisaged green credit lines and a study of potential supplier and export credit arrangements and the promotion of local manufacturing in view of potentially developing a matchmaking function within the Programme.
