SUMMARY:Webinar - Guidance for PAYGo RBFs - measuring and incentivising sustained energy access
DESCRIPTION:GOGLA and the World Bank’s ESMAP are hosting a roundtable webinar to introduce a new Guidance Note on integrating consumer‑centric KPIs into PAYGo results‑based financing schemes. The 90‑minute session will feature a presentation of the guidance\, case studies from programmes that have piloted these metrics (MAIS Energia in Mozambique\, NNNF in Malawi\, and BGFA)\, and a moderated discussion on the practicality\, challenges\, and value of adopting consumer‑centric KPIs. \n  \nThe roundtable will convene participants from ESMAP\, government partners\, RBF fund managers\, dMRV providers\, and programme designers to enable candid exchange. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of the KPIs\, greater confidence in applying them\, and an opportunity to join a peer group advancing good practice in this area. We hope you can join us for this rich and engaged conversation.

SUMMARY:2026 Malawi National Energy Conference
DESCRIPTION:Energy remains one of the biggest drivers of economic growth and social development. Yet in Malawi\, where electricity access is still estimated at around 25%\, many sectors continue to face challenges caused by unreliable and limited energy access. \nFrom hospitals and schools to farms\, tourism facilities\, mining operations\, and manufacturing industries\, energy is essential for productivity\, service delivery\, innovation\, and investment. Recognising this\, the upcoming will focus on positioning energy as a cross-cutting enabler for national development. \nHeld under the theme “Powering Growth: Mainstreaming Energy Across Sectors” the conference aims to bring together stakeholders from across government\, the private sector\, development partners\, academia\, civil society\, and industry. \n \nSince 2022\, Malawi’s National Energy Conferences have progressively shaped dialogue around sustainable development\, energy diversification\, productive use of energy\, and financing for energy security. The 2026 edition builds on this momentum by focusing on integrated energy planning across multiple sectors. \nThe conference will be structured around four key pillars: \n\nMulti-sectoral energy policy mainstreaming and regulation\nEnergy for social services\, including health and education\nCommercial and industrial-scale energy for agriculture\, tourism\, mining\, manufacturing\, and transport\nFinance\, business models\, and climate resilience

SUMMARY:Webinar - Maximizing Results-Based Financing results: lessons from the Beyond the Grid Fund for Africa
DESCRIPTION:Join ESMAP and GOGLA\, in cooperation with Nefco – the Nordic Green Bank\, to explore how results-based financing (RBF) can be designed to maximize efficiency and impact across different market contexts\, drawing on findings from the mid-term evaluation of the Beyond the Grid Fund for Africa (BGFA) program. \nCome learn about the evaluation’s headline findings on efficiency\, effectiveness\, and impact\, and dive into three critical questions for designing effective RBF subsidies: how should RBF be designed differently for mature and nascent markets? How can competitive bidding be structured to better reveal the level of subsidy companies actually need? And how can subsidy design maximize both market reach and long-term sustainability? \nHear directly from BGFA portfolio companies Easy Solar and FINCA Uganda about how they have adapted their business models under the results-based financing provided through the program. \nParticipants will leave with a sharper understanding of how to tailor RBF to different market contexts\, real-world examples of company adaptation under RBF\, and practical recommendations for designing more efficient and impactful subsidy programs.
