Norad launches international guarantee partnership for renewable energy investments in developing countries
Norad and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in collaboration with NABA, MIGA and ATI invite to the launch of the new international guarantee partnership for renewable energy investments in developing countries.
We welcome interested stakeholders to an interactive dialogue between ministers and finance institutions to present Norad’s new guarantee initiative for renewable energy in developing countries, followed by a speed-dating session between stakeholders and guarantee institutions. Stakeholders are invited to ask questions about the new guarantee initiative and share their thoughts about the Norwegian toolbox for renewable energy investments in developing countries despite political risk, a basis for low emission green development.
