Results-based financing (RBF) is an important tool for accelerating minigrid deployment, offering predictable, performance-linked payments that strengthen service delivery, crowd in private capital, and support long-term market development. When well designed, RBF can bridge viability gaps, de-risk investment, and help build more resilient minigrid markets.
With early RBF schemes now implemented across a range of countries and programmes, the sector has built a growing evidence base, highlighting what drives impact, and what can inadvertently constrain market growth. This webinar will take stock of these insights, distilling practical lessons from across the global minigrid ecosystem.
This session is the first of UNDP’s new webinar series, Minigrid Financing Unlocked, which provides policymakers and practitioners with clear, accessible guidance on key financing concepts shaping the future of minigrid development. Building on this foundation, the session will offer actionable direction on how to tailor RBF design to each country’s specific context and stage of market maturity, ensuring subsidy mechanisms are effective, scalable, and market-enabling.
