Abstract

Key Messages
• Transition finance vehicles in Africa should aim to transform ‘brown’ (polluting) into ‘green’ (renewable) industries.
• Key instruments include green bonds for specific environmental projects, grants/guaranties to support private investments that target access to energy for the poor, and patient capital investments into growth sectors focused on environmental, social, and governance targets.
• National energy policy should connect innovative market-based solutions (e.g., mini grids) to centralized (e.g., national grid) systems to strengthen governance.
