The Beyond the Grid Fund for Africa (BGFA) was established by the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (Nefco) on Sweden’s initiative in 2019. BGFA is managed by Nefco and implemented in partnership with REEEP. Sweden, USAID, Denmark and Germany are contributing to the BGFA programme.

BGFA builds on the Beyond the Grid Fund for Zambia (BGFZ) pilot programme, initiated by Sweden in 2016 and designed and implemented by REEEP.
