The proposed activity will leverage earlier PPIAF support, including Lighting Africa Development
Marketplace and Policy and Regulatory Study, by scaling up the benefits of Lighting Africa to additional
households in new countries.
The expected closing date for this activity is September 30, 2013. PPIAF will monitor results to capture
the actual outcomes and impacts of the activity.
II. Country-specific Activities Funded through PPIAF Climate Change Non-Core Trust
Fund
In addition to regional activities, PPIAF supported four country-specific climate change activities in South
Africa, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, and Mali.
1. South Africa: South African Cities Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Program
($400,000): this activity was approved on August 27, 2009. It aims to support the South African Cities
Network to implement a renewable energy and energy efficiency program for improved infrastructure
development through private investment across nine South African cities.
The activity included a component on pre-feasibility studies to help prepare renewable energy and energy
efficiency (REEE) within South Africa’s municipalities in order to mitigate climate change from the bottomup
by providing a well-documented, replicable framework for other municipalities to follow. The project
delivered four pre-feasibility studies: Energy Efficient Street Lighting, Energy Efficient Lighting in
Municipal Buildings, Implementation of Solar Water Heaters to Middle Class Neighbourhoods, and Micro
Hydro Electricity Potential Study. Each pre-feasibility report came with terms of reference detailing the
next steps for each project.
The consultant also developed an online toolkit on REEE consisting of reviews of REEE technologies,
analysis of the policy and legislative landscape, and links to useful online resources.
A one-day conference on climate change, co-organized by PPIAF and the South African Cities Network,
was held in September 2011 to share lessons learned from the various business plan developments.

middle-income neighborhoods
– City of Tshwane’s energy efficient lighting in the
municipal buildings
– City of Cape Town’s micro hydro potential
Technical capacity enhanced
