How we work

We’re working with developing countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa and Asia to accelerate an equitable energy transition for people and planet

Our Vision

We are a collective movement working to unlock green energy access in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean to secure an inclusive and resilient future for all.

We are addressing some of the defining challenges of our time—ending energy poverty and tackling the climate crisis—through a just transition to renewable energy.

Green energy deployment has the power to benefit the 750 million people who lack any access to energy, the 1.6 billion people who lack access that is reliable and affordable, and the further 1.25 billion people who do not consume enough electricity to make a meaningful difference to their economic prospects.

Our Targets

4

Giga tons of future carbon emissions reduced

1

Billion people with clean energy access

150

Million new jobs and sustainable livelihoods

Our three change levers

Government enablement

We invest in upstream, public capacity building to create the enabling environment, to develop capacity and help create policies conducive for green energy interventions that will support universal clean energy access and reduce carbon emissions.

Catalytic finance

We deploy a wide range of blended finance and flexible capital solutions to address market barriers and to unlock projects and mobilize funds to attract additional capital in order to close the green energy investment gap in developing countries for projects that would expand access to affordable, reliable clean electricity or promote clean energy adoption. This requires new approaches to financing.

Creating jobs and improving livelihoods

Green energy powers jobs. GEAPP  works to provide access to affordable, reliable clean energy across underserved communities, helping to build sustainable industries, create new jobs, and improve livelihoods for vulnerable populations.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning systems shape our work

Best-in-class monitoring, robust evaluation, and learning sits at the heart of GEAPP’s approach and governs the way we make decisions.

We hold ourselves accountable to concrete outcomes and hypotheses and build learning into the system for ourselves and our partners, convening discussions, disseminating project learnings and best practice. Working in this context demands a robust approach to risk management and a clear-sighted openness to learning, not only when things work, but with inevitable missteps along the way. This willingness to challenge is built into our mindset; it ensures our approach is informed by tangible results and realities.
