The WAFCEF-2 Financing Forum, to be held in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire on 17th September 2015, will showcase promising clean energy projects from West Africa in front of Africa’s leading investors. The Financing Forum actively seeks innovative projects that are financially viable, socially responsible and environmentally beneficial. This is the 2nd Forum for Clean Energy Financing to be held for West Africa.
CTI PFAN’s Pilot Program for Financing WAFCEF-2 seeks to identify promising projects which have the potential of raising private sector financing.
WAFCEF-2, through a business plan competition, will showcase 10 of the most promising clean energy investment opportunities in West Africa.
Ten specially selected climate change projects from around West Africa will present their business plan at the Forum. The shortlisted projects have been selected for their financial and technical viability, environmental benefits and the social responsibility from 50 projects proposals that answered the initial call for proposals, they have received intensive coaching from CTI PFAN professional advisors.
The projects that will present at the Forum represent Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal, in addition to a region-level project, with such green technologies as biofuels, biomass, biogas, hydroelectric, solar, and waste-to-energy.
WAFCEF-2 will be a great opportunity to access a select group of climate change projects with high profit potential, verified environmental and development benefits, which are ready for investment.
