GVEP International Advisory Group
The opportunity was also taken to develop two Advisory Groups, one for funding, and the other for programmes. These groups are made up of members of the Partnership Board, as well as external cross-sectoral experts including private fund managers, social investors, philanthropists and development banks These groups will explore ways for combining GVEP International’s activities with other energy actors, and maximising outreach and sustainability.
The first meetings of these groups opened up areas for collaboration and highlighted the key focus’ for achieving sustainable access to energy. GVEP International was predominantly recognised for the role it can play in capacity building and articulating the requirements of local communities.
