ABOUT US
UOMA (the Uganda Off-Grid Energy Market Accelerator), founded in 2017, is a dedicated and neutral intermediary, focused on accelerating the growth of off-grid energy in Uganda to enable universal energy access. It was borne out of a partnership between USAID / Power Africa, DFID and the Shell Foundation under their Scaling Off-Grid Energy: Grand Challenge for Development (SOGE) partnership.
