UNDP and Wind

Worldwide UNDP’s wind energy portfolio comprises 13 projects at different stages of planning/ implementation

In Africa UNDP currently supports 4 wind energy projects (Eritrea, Morocco, Tunisia, South Africa) at different stages of planning/ implementation. 1 project (Mauritania) has been completed.

UNDP’s approach to Wind Energy

UNDP is a co-financier of wind projects UNDP uses GEF grant money to leverage funds from

government, private sector, financial institutions In line with GEF’s approach UNDP projects aim at

removing market barriers so that wind could become a commercially viable alternative

UNDP supported wind projects focus on technical assistance including capacity building, policy and regulatory issues, awareness creation, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies and financing mechanisms
