ESMAP - Energy Sector Management Assistance Program

ESMAP is a partnership between the World Bank and over 20 partners working to achieve universal access to affordable and sustainable electricity by 2030 and to achieve decarbonization across the energy sector For 40 years, the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance program has worked with developing and emerging-market countries to solve their energy challenges. Backed by 24 partners, including governments and foundations, ESMAP is at the forefront of the energy transformation. ESMAP focuses on reform from the ground up, starting with government policies, and regulatory and operational frameworks. This ensures that energy solutions are not just sustainable, but actually sustained.
