Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP) debt fund

We were selected to manage the $30m debt fund that is part of the Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP). The fund offers local currency debt financing to solar companies working in 14 target counties and is designed to help Kenya achieve universal access to energy by 2022.

The KOSAP solar components - the $30m debt facility as well as $12m in results-based financing (RBF) grants - are funded by Kenya’s Ministry of Energy with support from the World Bank. Our partner SNV Netherlands Development Organization is responsible for the KOSAP facilities overall and manages the RBF program.
