Guinea‐Bissau

Rural Areas of Guinea Bissau are set to receive electricity through off-grid solar technologies through a project called the Regional Off-Grid Electricity Access Project (ROGEAP). According to World Bank data, about 65% of Guinea-Bissau’s population currently lacks access to electricity.
The Solar Energy Scale-up and Access Project will be implemented until June 2030, and will benefit from $35 million grant financing from the International Development Association (IDA), $10.5 million from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and $2.65 million from the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP).
To address Guinea-Bissau’s development challenges, the African Development Bank’s (AfDB) new strategy will promote economic diversification, structural transformation and lay the foundation for inclusive, resilient and sustainable growth through support for infrastructure and good governance.
