There’s less than a month to go until Foreign Policy's Energy Forum @UNGA79 on September 26, where they’ll be taking a look at practical, #SustainableEnergy solutions and actions needed to accelerate the #EnergyTransition affordably and reliably. We’re excited to share that our Chanaka Wickramasuriya, chief of party for the Sri Lanka Energy Program, will be joining Foreign Policy for a fireside chat, entitled “Financing the Future: Unlocking Capital for the Energy Transition in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.” With capital for green infrastructure #investment crucial to accelerating the energy transition to meet global net-zero goals, contributions are needed from both the public and private sector to deploy sustainable solutions at scale. Sri Lanka, a country with a historically nationalized industry energy industry, and a UNFCCC target of generating 70% of its power with renewables by 2030, recently passed legislation to allow new private sector capital to enter the market. This fascinating session will dive into the #SriLanka case study, and explore how to bring capital partners to the table to support locally driven development and sustainability goals.

The Chemonics-implemented USAID Feed the Future Uganda Strategic Investments Activity (SIA) was honored to join other USAID implementing partners to host Daniele Nyirandutiye, the USAID Mission Director in #Uganda, at Grainpulse Limited! The event gathered 100 guests from USAID, the private sector, government institutions, and the media to emphasize the pivotal role of the #PrivateSector in the transformation of Uganda’s grains industry, driving #EconomicGrowth and #innovation. Director Nyirandutiye commended the accomplishment of Forna Health Foods Limited, the SIA-supported producer of the innovative and nutritious "Aunt Porridge," which has greatly impacted the health of infants, children, breastfeeding mothers, and immunocompromised patients and families. The enterprise has not only contributed to improved immunity, but has also created employment opportunities, with 70% of its employees being youth and 78% female. Director Nyirandutiye addressed the important role of the Grain Council of Uganda in fostering close collaboration between its members, the private sector, and other stakeholders and reaffirmed the continued commitment of the U.S. government to supporting Uganda’s grain sector. Addressing challenges such as poor infrastructure and climate change will continue to ensure the availability of high-quality agricultural inputs and support food security across Uganda! 👏🌾
