GVEP International

Mission

The majority of the developing world lives without access to energy, greatly restricting their potential for development in terms of health, education and enterprise. GVEP International operates through a network of regional offices in Africa and Latin America to accelerate access to energy through sustainable market-led solutions. GVEP International helps entrepreneurs to create micro, small and medium size energy enterprises to meet the local energy needs focussing on modern, affordable and renewable solutions. It provides support through capacity building activities, assists entrepreneurs with accessing finance and connects them to investors. It actively fights climate by mitigating negative environmental effects.
