Overall Objective:

The Overall Objective (Impact) of this action is to support the modernisation and industrialisation of the Malawian economy and of the electricity sector by implementing the necessary reforms and promoting private sector investments.

Within the framework of the Multiannual Indicative Programme (MIP) 2021-2027 for Malawi, the Africa-EU Green Energy Initiative (AEGEI), the achievement of the SDG 7, and the objectives set by the Paris Agreement at the COP21 to fight climate change, this Technical Assistance should be understood as one of the first steps in a short- to medium-term EU comprehensive programme to address the energy access issue in Malawi.

 

 

The services under this ToR comprise a four-year Technical Assistance to support Malawi’s energy sector institutions. The Technical Assistance provides expertise in institutional strengthening, capacity building and training in support of the MoE and the other energy sector entities.

At the same time as the Technical Assistance, the EU will deploy the Twinning instrument to support institutional capacity building. Through its peer-to-peer and mandatory results approach, Twinning has proved successful elsewhere as it is very effective at engaging the beneficiary at a senior institutional level.

• Experience in the development and structuring of financing solutions for infrastructure projects with IFIs including through either blending operations or guarantee instruments;
