Showcase of the ESG Compliance Toolkit for African Mini-Grids
Following the successful launch of the Guidance Materials and Support Tools for ESG Compliance for the African Mini-Grid Sector at the Energy Access Investment Forum, AfDB SEFA, IFC, and ARE are rolling out a series of capacity-building activities in June 2026.
This webinar aims to raise sector-wide awareness of the newly launched ESG Compliance Manual and Toolkit — developed under a joint initiative by AfDB SEFA, IFC, and ARE to help mini-grid practitioners navigate and comply with international ESG standards in their mini-grid projects.
It is open to a broad audience, including mini-grid developers and operators, financiers, rural electrification agencies, ministries, and international development organisations.
The session will present the core outputs of the project as well as the content of the training: the ESG compliance manual as well as selected tools included in the Toolkit, an Environmental & Social Management System (ESMS), a Stakeholder Engagement Plan & Gender (SEPG) Toolkit, and an Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA).
The webinars will be followed by four in-depth training sessions in June 2026, open to interested companies seeking hands-on support in applying the toolkit.
