AMP @ EAIF2026

The Africa Minigrids Program (AMP) will be well represented at the ARE Energy Access Investment Forum (EAIF) 2026, the leading annual investment event dedicated to advancing renewable electrification. EAIF fosters strategic partnerships to accelerate energy access, productive use, commercial and industrial power solutions, and the broader green energy transition.

Building on its track record since 2016, EAIF 2026 will convene more than 1,500 participants, including 500 in person and over 1,000 online, with French and English interpretation available. Organised by the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) and co-hosted by the European Union through its Global Gateway initiative, the Forum is supported by GET.invest, a European programme mobilising investment in clean energy, co-funded by the European Union, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and Austria. Held under the patronage of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum of Kenya, EAIF 2026 will bring together private and public investors, energy companies, utilities, policymakers and government representatives for a high-level and impactful experience.

For AMP, EAIF 2026 marks its third convening, following the first Community of Practice (CoP) convening in Nigeriaand the most recent convening held in Kampala, Uganda, in 2025. This third gathering will provide a platform to share lessons learned, assess progress, and showcase national project updates across AMP countries.

Participants will engage in peer learning and community building while connecting with the broader EAIF audience to strengthen networks and partnerships across the energy ecosystem. Further details on the AMP agenda and activities will be shared in due course.

By identifying emerging gaps and opportunities, AMP continues to ensure that each national project is equipped with the tools, insights, and guidance needed to accelerate the electrification of rural and underserved communities across Africa.
