The Household Solar Funders Group
Started in 2020, the Household Solar Funders Group (HSFG) brings together 65 funders of household solar in Africa. The primary aim of the HSFG is to accelerate access to energy (SDG7), through funder collaboration on activities which address market barriers and benefit from a collective approach.
