Second Call for Proposals for Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) under the Yemen Emergency Electricity Access Project
Through this Call for Proposals, UNOPS will engage eligible Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs)[1], some of whom operate either alone or in partnership with solar product retailers, and help them set up financing windows for high-quality, small-scale solar solutions for rural and peri-urban households and provide grants to beneficiaries to make systems affordable.
UNOPS will make available 20,000 high quality off-grid energy access products to PFIs to be distributed to eligible rural and peri-urban households, offering partial grants to the PFIs based on cash or credit terms of said products
[1] These include any microfinance bank, microfinance institution or other local entity providing micro-credits, which is registered as a financial institution, or non-governmental organization, or other association, pursuant to the laws of the Republic of Yemen, and approved by UNOPS to participate as a financier of solar products and small-scale solar systems.
