Call for Proposals: Kenya-UK PACT Clean Energy Transition Program 2025 (Up to £500,000) Deadline: 29 January, 2025
Submit proposals for the Kenya-UK PACT Clean Energy Transition Program 2025. The UK Government is looking to extend its UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) programme in Kenya with technical assistance and capacity-building projects supporting the clean energy transition sector.
As a demand-led programme, the Kenya-UK PACT Country Fund aims to align its support with the Government of Kenya’s existing plans and policies. Through consultation with the Government of Kenya, UK PACT has identified key opportunities in the clean energy transition. They are looking to award grant funding for projects aimed at providing technical assistance and capacity-building to support a low-carbon transition.
The following project areas have been identified for funding within this Call for Proposals:
- Clean cooking: enhancement of local manufacturing and energy crop cultivation for clean cooking supply chains
- Clean cooking: accelerating clean cooking adoption – A data-driven approach and capacity building
- Integrated national energy planning: technical support for integrated energy planning
- Off-grid solutions: fostering clean energy entrepreneurship – a youth focused approach
- Off-grid solutions: accelerating rural and urban electrification with innovative energy technologies
Funding
- Up to £500,000 per financial year, per project (i.e., the budget ceiling for two years would be £1,000,000). Higher budget projects may be considered on an exceptional basis depending on proposed activities and value for money against expected outcomes.
Eligibility
- Applicants may submit proposals for more than one project, noting that each project is distinct, and that each proposal should address only one project. Each proposal will be assessed independently.
- They welcome applications from consortia. As of 2024, organisations registered as for-profit organisations are eligible to be the lead Implementing Partner of a proposal/consortium, however, projects must be delivered on a not-for-profit basis. They encourage consortia to have at least one local partner.
- They invite all organisations with relevant experience in delivering technical assistance and capacity-building projects in the clean energy transition sectors to register. This could be think-tanks, consultancies, academic institutions, community organisations, NGOs, professional associations, or any similar organisations that have the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver an eligible project.
- Proposals led by private sector entities are now welcomed for UK PACT (a change from 2023), however, conditions apply.
- Government agencies and Government departments are not eligible to receive UK PACT funding.
Deadline: 29 January, 2025
