Description:

In 2018, GreenMax partnered with African Solar Designs to provide technical assistance to standalone solar businesses operating in the household solar market in Somaliland. The goal was to support interested businesses to identify and initiate private and public/private capital solutions. This took place through B2B and financing partner introductions, including initial identification, introductions and facilitation of early discussions with crowdfunders, mobile money service providers and other partners. It also included supporting financing applications and strategic and operational advice (e.g., quality, after-sales, marketing, etc.) as requested.
