Matching Fund Program
The Corporation is mandated to implement rural electrification projects aimed at contributing towards the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDG); specifically, SDG no. 7 and no. 13 on affordable and clean energy for all and combatting effects of climate change.
The Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Program is mainly funded through the exchequer.
Objective
To achieve universal connectivity for all, there is need to accelerate the pace at which the projects are implemented. One of the challenges faced by REREC in carrying out her mandate of implementing rural electrification projects is limited funds.
REREC has developed a participatory innovative approach in financing community projects through a cost sharing arrangement with the constituency development fund, county governments and other stakeholders.
The Matching Fund program aims to supplement the traditional source of funds. Under the program, REREC matches shilling for a shilling contributed by stakeholders to a maximum of Ksh.5 million per Constituency on a first come first served basis.
Benefits of the program
- Under the traditional funding, REREC mostly implements projects that are benefitting public facilities unlike the matching program where the projects are prioritized by the stakeholder and there is no limitation.
- A County /Constituency benefits from increased access to electricity.
- Increased County/Constituency connectivity levels.
- Limited waiting time- since the funds are readily available, projects that would have taken longer to be implemented can be prioritized.
Other benefits accrued to electricity include;
- Stepped up empowerment of the population for increased productivity.
- Increased revenue to the Exchequer through taxes both directly and indirectly
- Improved livelihoods of all Kenyans and the country’s economic activities,
- Increased business opportunities and creation of new employment opportunities
- Improved educational standards and ICT literacy
- Improved health care
- Increased security
