We are closely monitoring the ongoing conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the situation in Goma. The programme administration is keeping close contact with our funded companies located in the area. The companies have confirmed that they have taken actions to ensure the safety of their staff and that services are provided with prioritising safety of their employees.
Among BGFA’s company portfolio we are financing three projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) related to mini-grid developments, standalone solar home systems and solar battery rental services, of which two of the companies have offices in Goma.
