CEI Africa is excited to announce the third round of applications for its Smart Outcomes Fund (SOF) Component.

This marks the start of a new funding cycle under the SOF Component of CEI Africa, supporting off-grid enterprises that deploy productive use of energy (PUE) equipment and technologies powered by their own renewable energy sources (stand-alone PUE), independent of any grid connection.

The SOF Component is built on the Social Impact Incentives (SIINC) model, which rewards impact-driven private enterprises for generating measurable positive social outcomes.

This funding call is open to enterprises operating in Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Uganda, and Senegal.

Companies are invited to submit applications for both the prequalification and project application stage in this call. You can find more information about eligibility criteria, subsidy structure, and application process here (English version) and here (French version).

All applications must be submitted digitally via the Odyssey Platform. To register for this opportunity, please visit here.
