About this grant
Christian Aid, a relief and development agency based in the United Kingdom, has projects across the globe, including in Africa. Over the past ten years of Mott Foundation support, the grantee has established and supported a network of more than 50 local civil society partners that continue to influence the policies of the African Development Bank toward better environmental, social and economic safeguard practices and community outcomes. In the past two years, the grantee has strengthened civil society engagement with the African Development Bank on renewable energy financing. With this increase and associated grant period extension, Christian Aid will consolidate civil society coordination, deepen technical capacity and drive sustainable action to increase the African Development Bank’s financing for decentralized renewable energy systems.
