Through its Enabling Domestic Green Energy Finance (EDGE Finance) service, GET.invest is working with domestic financial institutions to support the flow of local currency financing for green energy in partner countries.

EDGE Finance trainings and coaching are demand-driven, tailored and offered free of cost. Through close coordination with the GET.invest Finance Access Advisory service, which supports projects to become investment ready, the service leverages synergies through deep market knowledge and cross referrals. In addition, it supports financial institutions to link to different funding and risk management instruments offered by the European Union and development finance institutions.

EDGE Finance builds on two pilots carried out under the banner of Capacity Development for Domestic Financiers in Rwanda and Mozambique in 2021. These were deepened during a collaboration with RENAC on “Green Banking” in Burundi and Nigeria, and a cooperation with the German-funded project Access to Finance for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Senegal.
