Global Village Energy Partnership
| Name: | Global Village Energy Partnership |
| Official Abbreviation: | GVEP International |
| Description: |
GVEP International is a worldwide organisation that seeks to reduce poverty through accelerated access to modern energy services. We focus our work in developing countries – mainly in rural and peri-urban areas – and on renewable energy technologies. Through our work we are fighting climate change and providing the tools that our partners require to adapt to changing global conditions. |
| Focus and activities: |
GVEP International believes that business-led solutions are essential to meet the energy needs of people living in developing countries. While governments can create effective policies and incentives, the private sector has a critical role too. We stimulate the creation of a broad range of micro, small and medium size enterprises in the energy economy. We support and nurture these businesses, and help connect them with funders so they can work towards providing communities with access to energy at affordable prices. Through our website we bring together people and organisations who work with energy issues; more than 2,000 organisations from 120 countries have registered with us. A key principle is that anyone we support must be working towards creating an energy product or service that has the potential to become a self sustaining business. |
