Under its training & capacity building activities for DRE member companies, ARE in partnership with African National Renewable Energy Associations, and supported by GET.invest will organise Virtual Investment Academies on improving access to finance for DRE projects and businesses. 

The objective of this programme is to provide capacity building and training to local early-stage SMEs active in the DRE sector in Africa on how to access financing for their businesses and projects and on the development of bankable project proposals, with a specific focus on fundraising support for DRE SMEs affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The training will provide an overview of existing funding sources and financing facilities as well as basic investment readiness and project development support and guidance on how to access existing funding sources.

The training is exclusive to ARE Members only.
