As part of London Climate Action Week, Energise Africa is holding an interactive webinar, where a panel including representatives from Good Energies Foundation, African Venture Philanthropy Alliance and MyAgro will join us for a talk and take questions from the audience.

The discussion will showcase the successful model Energise Africa has pioneered to mobilise retail investment from people across the UK to support sustainable businesses that are tackling climate change and improving lives in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. We will explore how the platform uses blended finance to leverage retail capital and accelerate investment in renewable energy and sustainable development across the region. And the panel will discuss how this innovative model is helping achieve the SDGs in Africa and the ways this success can be replicated for other sectors and markets.

As part of the discussion, we will cover how we have developed a new blended finance GBP-USD hedged product, in order to provide affordable financing which is better suited to the requirements of SMEs in Africa. And explore how providing a hedged USD product creates the potential for a greater number of investments from a UK retail audience for impactful climate projects in Sub-Saharan Africa while reducing the foreign currency risk for borrowing SMEs.
