Proparco has granted Badili a $400,000 loan through the Bridge facility to support its initiative of offering refurbished smartphones, aimed at reducing electronic waste and providing consumers with affordable devices. This financing will enhance smartphone access, improve connectivity, and promote sustainability in Kenya.

Proparco is providing a €500,000 grant to NETIS to finance hydrogen-based electricity generation equipment (produced on site using water) to replace generators. The aim of the project is to reduce the carbon footprint emitted by the electrical infrastructure of telecoms towers by replacing generators powered by combustion engines with green solutions based on hydrogen and fuel cells. Thanks to this innovative solution, telecoms operators will be able to improve the reliability and availability of their network using a renewable energy source.
