The $5.4 billion Clean Technology Fund (CTF) is empowering transformation in developing countries by providing resources to scale up low carbon technologies with significant potential for long-term greenhouse gas emissions savings. Over $4 billion (75% of CTF resources) is approved for implementation in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and clean transport.

The objectives of the Electricity Sector Support Project for Burkina Faso are to contribute to: (a) increasing access to electricity; (b) improving the reliability of electricity supply; and (c) improving efficient use of energy in targeted areas.
