USAID CEFF-CCA invites you to register for a webinar spotlighting clean energy market-makers in the Caribbean and Central America. In this webinar, you will learn how USAID CEFF-CCA is partnering with venture capitalists, the private sector, academia, and civil society to foster vibrant, self-sustaining clean energy markets in 20 countries in the Caribbean and Central America. CEFF-CCA market-makers are pioneers in their regions, who are helping to build, strengthen, and expand opportunities for the private sector to meet critical energy needs in low income countries. Join us to learn about how they finance, de-risk, create demand, and test new technologies that blaze a path towards a clean energy future in Central America and the Caribbean.
