About this opportunity

Round II of REACT 2.0 Ethiopia, focused on Oromia, Somali and Amhara regions. Window 1 (working capital and inventory finance) is for early-stage distributors and service providers of solar home systems and small productive-use technologies. Window 2 (Energy Capex Facility) is for growth-stage firms investing in larger productive-use infrastructure such as solar irrigation and cold storage. Each window offers USD 250,000 to 400,000. The official page has an active apply link but no deadline or open status, so confirm both with AECF (info@aecfafrica.org). AECF states it charges no application fee and uses no agents.
