Context
The Indicative Cooperation Program (ICP 2013-2017) between Belgium and Mozambique allocates a total grant envelope of 16 million € to the energy sector in Mozambique, split over two interventions:
· Institutional and organizational strengthening and capacity development at the Ministry of Energy (CBMIREME)
· Renewable Energy for Rural Development phase 2 (RERD2)
Both interventions will contribute to the economic productivity and social service delivery in rural Mozambique through the provision of sustainable, affordable and environment-friendly energy (general objective).
RERD II, whose budget amounts to 12M€, builds on the results of the first phase of the intervention and will contribute to increase access to energy in rural areas by investments in renewable energy systems and support mechanisms ensuring sustainability.
The partner organisation is FUNAE (Fundo de Energia). The institution is in charge of developing the use of renewable energy in rural areas.
To achieve this specific objective, RERD II will invest in three strategic axes:
1. Financing the construction of off-grid systems and demonstrate the most suitable management mode for those mini-grids. The intervention will focus on large mini-grids allowing for the productive use of energy.
2. Improving the technical and financial sustainability of the current systems in Mozambique
3. Improving FUNAE capacities, especially related to project management at central level and to planning and coordination at the level of the Delegation in the Provinces.
The geographic focus will be the province of Zambezia, with possible extension to Niassa and Manica depending on the security situation
