Description: The Rwanda Village Grid Results-based Financing (RBF) Project Closing report outlines the design, implementation, results and lessons learned of the 7-year program, which ran from 2013- 2020 with the aim of supporting privately developed mini-grids in Rwanda.
The project, which supported over 10,000 people reach access to electricity and supported four companies in constructing both solar and hydro mini-grids, overcame a number of challenges and gained valuable lessons learned in the design and implementation of a mini-grid RBF program. The report highlights both the achievements and struggles, while providing valuable lessons for future RBF programs.
