BusinessdayNigeria’s renewable energy sector gets $20m blended finance pushA coalition of development finance actors convened in Lagos on March 27 to launch the $20 million Renewable Energy Blended Facility (REBF), a debt fund designed to provide long-term financing to Nigeria's off-grid renewable energy sector through the Nigeria Off-Grid Market Acceleration Program (NoMAP), SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, and United Capital Plc. The fund will offer loans ranging from $500,000 to $1.5 million per project with repayment periods of up to ten years, targeting distributed renewable energy projects in rural and semi-urban markets. According to the fund's projections, it expects to reach over 202,000 beneficiaries, support 1,650 smallholder farmers, serve 53,000 micro-enterprise owners, leverage an additional $30 million in local currency funding, and avoid roughly 30,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, with first disbursements targeted for early 2027.EcobizDFCD Backs JALA with €340,000 Grant for Climate-Resilient Shrimp Farming in IndonesiaThe Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD) has approved a €340,000 grant to Indonesian aquaculture firm PT Jala Akuakultur Lestari Alamku (JALA) to pilot climate-resilient shrimp farming practices and strengthen supply chain traceability across Indonesia's shrimp sector.
