Background

The UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) has developed a global programme called CleanStart to support 2.5 million poor people to obtain access to reliable and affordable clean energy through microfinance. To this end, the CleanStart programme will support 18 financial service providers (FSPs) across six countries in Asia and Africa to build their capacity in providing financing for clean energy solutions. In parallel, the programme will also strengthen the supply chains of technologies being financed and advocate for policy and business environments that promote the growth of energy markets serving low-income people.

CleanStart will finalise three programme countries in Q2-3, 2014. Potential countries include Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Cambodia. From these countries, CleanStart will invite financial service providers to submit an expression of interest to participate in the programme. FSPs that are short-listed will be invited to participate in a business planning training on energy microfinance.

The training will take FSPs through a step-by-step process of formulating a business plan that will later guide the development of financial products for clean energy technologies or services. For CleanStart purposes, the business plan will also serve as one of the key determinants for awarding risk-capital grants.

The training would likely take place within the FSPs’ region, in a country that has various examples of expanding energy financing for low-income people and where it has been able to demonstrate commercial viability.
Further, CleanStart will develop a “public good” tool for energy financing business planning that will be available to financial service providers and practitioners globally.


Duties and Responsibilities

Objective of Assignment:

CleanStart seeks the assistance of an experienced training expert to organise up to three (3) trainings for financial service providers on how to develop business plans to introduce financial products for clean energy, and, in addition, to develop a training tool kit for business planning for financial service providers

The first objective of the training is to build the awareness and confidence of financial service providers in energy financing. By end of the training, participants will have:
A deeper understanding of the potential value and challenges of introducing an energy portfolio;
An understanding of the main elements of a business plan for energy financing;
Exposure to various financing models and technologies in various countries; and
A detailed understanding about the CleanStart programme and the Request for Proposal requirements

The training will be participatory and encourage participants to openly and critically think through issues among a group of peers and experts. The training will include lectures, case studies, one-on-one consulting on each institution’s business plan, and field visits.

The second objective of the training will be to develop a training tool kit for business planning, which will be generally applicable for financial service providers interested in entering the energy financing sphere and will be made available as a “public good.”

Scope of Work:

Up to three (3) trainings in Asia and Africa will be organised by the consultant. Each training will be at least five (5) days with up to 20 participants. (The number of days and participants is subject to change based on discussions with the CleanStart Programme team.)

Indicative timeline:
Uganda: Quarter 2, 2014;
Tanzania/Ethiopia and/or Cambodia: Quarter 3-4, 2014;
Energy financing business planning tool kit: Quarter 4, 2014.
I] In developing and delivering the training, the expert will be responsible for the following:

Pre-training and training
Advise on country suitable for the training to take place;
Provide substantive inputs (and tools) to the Request for Proposal requirements and templates provided by the CleanStart team to FSPs;
