ABOUT US

The Uganda Off-Grid Energy Market Accelerator (UOMA), implemented by Open Capital in partnership with the Shell Foundation, FCDO, USAID, and Power Africa, completed a 7th successful year, growing from an early catalyst for innovation to being a trusted partner and central advisor for off-grid energy access in Uganda. Through this pioneering concept, we are coordinating industry actors, providing technical input, expertise, and substantial support for private and public sector strategies to drive towards SDG 7 and universal access to affordable and clean energy for Ugandans
