Applications Open: Demand-side Subsidies Results-based Financing Program
The Demand-Side Subsidies Results-based Financing Programme is designed to overcome the financial barriers that prevent individuals in ultra-poor and vulnerable circumstances from accessing Off Grid Solar Products (OGS) and improved cookstoves (ICS). This initiative specifically targets those who are typically overlooked by commercial suppliers and existing public programs. The DSS RBF will focus on the lower and lowest income brackets of Malawians, as identified in the Unified Beneficiary Registry (UBR).
Technology suppliers, which include participating companies and NGOs, will be eligible for incentives for each confirmed sale of a solar home system (SHS) and/or improved cookstove (ICS) to qualifying households in the districts of Balaka, Dedza, Nkhata Bay, and Salima. These incentives will be disbursed upon the reporting and independent verification of sales. To learn more and apply, click here.
