Kenya Climate Innovations Centre is looking for private
investors in the country to facilitate the development, deployment and transfer
of locally relevant climate and clean energy technologies.
With support from World Bank’s InfoDev the organization
is seeking partner firms in the country to take sponsorship packages ranging
from Sh500,000 to Sh5 million.
“We are trying to help the private sector in Kenya to
look at climate change not as a threat but as an opportunity to engage in the
right way through investment in order to benefit from it,” KCIC CEO Edward
Mungai said.
KCIC through a specialised fund awards up to Sh5 million
to small and medium enterprises geared towards creating innovative solutions in
renewable energy, agribusiness and water. The financing goes towards
actualising concepts and proposals.
