“At GIZ-EnDev, we have seen firsthand how RBF models can incentivize private sector participation and encourage innovation in delivering renewable energy solutions to remote communities.” Ivan Taremwa, Energy Advisor GIZ Uganda-Energising Development (EnDev) program. #REC24

One of the lessons we’ve learned is that RBF allows for flexibility in project implementation, where developers are rewarded based on results rather than rigid upfront payments. This not only ensures accountability but also drives efficiency and sustainability in energy projects.

Green hydrogen plays an important role in the production of ammonia and methanol, decarbonising the transport sector and can also provide a base load power in the electricity sector. There’s need for maintenance systems and building existing technologies to address the challenges

Without research, any efforts toward change - whether in policy or practice - are built on assumptions rather than grounded in the true needs and wants of the communities we serve. It is imperative that we root our efforts in evidence-based research. #REC24

Uganda is taking a bold step toward sustainable transport with the launch of an EV charging station at Amber House, marking the first public institution to install one ~ David Otieno (GIZ Uganda) representative #UgandaEVLaunch

The government of Uganda is leading the e-mobility transition by integrating clean energy policies, ensuring a greener, more efficient transport system. #UgandaEVLaunch

With support from the German government and partners like GIZ, Uganda is accelerating its shift to electric mobility to combat climate change and improve urban air quality. #UgandaEVLaunch

The launch of Uganda’s EV charging station is not just about infrastructure—it’s about fostering collaboration among government, private sector, civil society, and academia. #UgandaEVLaunch

Uganda is leveraging its clean energy potential to drive the e-mobility revolution, reducing emissions and enhancing transport efficiency. #UgandaEVLaunch

The transport sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Uganda’s commitment to electric mobility is a crucial step toward sustainable urban transport. #UgandaEVLaunch

Battery prices are decreasing, technology is advancing, and Uganda is positioning itself as a leader in the e-mobility space. The time for EVs is now. #UgandaEVLaunch

Uganda’s EV transition aligns with global trends in clean energy and sustainable transport, ensuring economic growth while protecting the environment. #UgandaEVLaunch

By investing in e-mobility, Uganda is not only tackling climate change but also driving innovation and business opportunities in the clean transport sector. #UgandaEVLaunch

Today, I launched the Sustainable Development of the Mining Sector project at Speke Resort. This initiative, co-funded by the European Union Delegation to Uganda EU in Uganda & the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation & Development , aims to boost Uganda’s mining sector.
