Nineteen productive use appliance companies across Kenya, Nigeria and Ethiopia have been awarded $1.5 million (Sh181 million) to expand access to income-generating solar appliances for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
The funding through the Productive Use Financing Facility (PUFF) was announced by Collaborative Labelling and Appliance Standards Program (CLASP) at the two-day Adaptation Investment Summit 2026 that is taking place in Nairobi that started on Monday.
The money will help beneficiaries to increase productivity, create jobs, and grow local economies.
The funding aims to deploy 3,800 productive use equipment (PUE), supporting over 3,000 green jobs across the three countries.
