£2 million (about $2.7 million) to carry clean power to 8 African countries

In markets and villages from Kenya to Mozambique, diesel generators still power the food stalls, hospitals and schools. A new round of UK funding — £2 million (about $2.7 million) through the ZE-Gen Scale-up Fund — will back 10 projects across 8 African countries: solar cold-storage to keep harvests fresh, battery systems, and fishing hubs that run without diesel. Clean, quiet power where it changes the most mornings.
