Internship GET.invest Private Sector Mobilisation
Internship GET.invest Private Sector Mobilisation
- Belgium
Field of activities:
GET.invest (www.get-invest.eu) supports investments in decentralised renewable energy projects in developing countries. It is implemented by GIZ on behalf of several European donors: the EU, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Austria. It is part of the platform GET.pro (www.global-energy-transformation.eu) and works with a focus on sub-Sahara Africa, with additional activities in the Caribbean.
The programme supports all relevant technologies, addressing a critical barrier towards investment by assisting project developers and companies towards “bankability” and linking them with financiers. It also stimulates new partnerships and ventures by providing information about market opportunities, through (online) events, and by cooperating with associations and many other partners.
GET.invest is implemented by an international team between Eschborn, Brussels and Maputo. The programme is fully funded for two more years. With implementation ongoing, the team is already engaged in a strategy process leading towards fundraising for the future.
