FOCUS ON ENERGY SECTOR FINANCING
Present  in  the  country  since  2012,  AFD  has  been  working  with  the  
Zambian   government   to   improve   road   infrastructure,   expand  
access   to   electricity   and   water,   and   support   the   transiDon   toward  
a   sustainable   energy   future.   Between   2012   and   2017,   AFD’s  
porXolio   was   mostly   focused   on   sovereign   lending,   but   the  
organizaDon   is   now   diversifying   its   lending   opDons   to   include  
non-­‐sovereign   loans   and   credit   guarantee   schemes   to   both  
private  and  public  sectors  
AFD   is   a   long   term   partner   of   ZESCO,   Zambia’s   naDonal   electricity  
provider,   and   has   been   instrumental   in   assisDng   the   country   in  
diversifying  its  energy  mix    
Renewable  energy  sources  are  abundant  in  Zambia,  notably  solar,  
hydro,  thermal,  biomass  and  wind    
AFD   is   an   acDve   member   of   energy   sector   policy   dialogue   with  
government,   development   partners   and   other   various  
stakeholders.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR BUILDING THE SMART GRID
ROADMAP OF ZAMBIA: EUR240,000

A  grant  to  support  the  integraDon  of  renewable  electricity  and  
the  development  of  smart  grid  in  Zambia  under  the  guidance  of  
the  Energy  RegulaDon  Board  of  Zambia  (ERB)  
The  aim  is  to  build  a  road  map  for  managing  the  migraDon  to  a  
smarter  grid  in  Zambia  in  phases.  Some  applicaDons  are  already  
in  place  such  as  prepaid  meters  (used  by  all  new  end  users)    
Another  smart  brick  has  already  been  put  in  place  with  the  AMI  
(Advanced  Metering  Infrastructure)    
A  huge  volume  of  bricks  of  technology  will  be  used  at  different  
levels  and  the  TA  has  idenDfied  several  potenDal  bricks  of  the

AFRICA GREENCO PROJECT
AFD  is  very  supporDve  of  the  innovaDve  derisking  scheme  of  Africa  
GreenCo,  which  goes  in  the  right  direcDon  in  terms  of  regional  energy  
market  integraDon  and  green  energy  transiDon    
Although  it  is  on  hold  for  now  given  the  current  context,  AFD  will  look  
into  providing  a  guarantee  to  allow  Africa  GreenCo  to  kick-­‐start  its  
operaDons  in  Zambia  as  soon  as  possible    
AFD  works  with  the  public  sector  (while  Proparco  works  with  the  private  
sector),  so  it  would  support  Africa  GreenCo  in  its  sales  to  ZESCO,  when  
the  signature  of  such  power  supply  agreements  will  be  possible  
The  EU  is  also  discussing  this  with  AFD  and  may  get  involved  through  its  
EFSD+  instrument.

THE WAY FORWARD
“In  spite  of  the  current  macroeconomic  challenges,  the  potenDal  for  
investments  in  energy  sector  remains  high,  for  it  answers  the  need  
of  the  Zambian  populaDon.  In  line  with  the  French  government,  AFD  
group  will  conDnue  to  be  an  acDve  partner  in  the  energy  sector  in  
Zambia  and  keen  for  future  intervenDons.”
