Programme Overview:

CleanStart is a multi-year and multi-donor programme implemented by UNCDF seeking to increase sustainable access to clean and affordable energy for more than 2.5 million people, and specifically 501,000 low income households and micro entrepreneurs through access to finance. The programme - initially designed with a timeline from January 2012 to December 2017 - has been extended up to December 2020. The estimated resources for the programme amounted to USD 26 million and, as of December 2016, a total of USD 15 million had been secured by UNCDF, SIDA4 , NORAD, ADC, and the Government of Liechtenstein (resulting in a funding gap of 42%).
