Furthermore, it analyses risk mitigation strategies and innovative financing structures available to the public and private sectors, which are aimed at leveraging capital in the clean energy sector at scale and fostering the creation of an enabling business and investment environment. More specifically, the present book analyses how to (i) enhance capital allocation in projects and organisations that foster clean energy access in the region, (ii) mobilize private capital at scale and (iii) decrease the cost of financing through risk mitigation strategies. Going beyond traditional approaches, the book also considers socioeconomic and cultural aspects associated with investment barriers across the subcontinent. Moreover, it urges the public and private spheres to become more actively involved in tackling this pressing development issue, and provides policy recommendations for the public sector, including proposals for business model evolution at multilateral agencies and development institutions. It will appeal to a wide readership of both academics and professionals working in the energy industry, the financial sector and the political sphere, as well as to general readers interested in the ongoing debate about energy, sustainable development and finance. 2021-08-13T14:38:33Z 2021-08-13T14:38:33Z 2021 book ONIX_20210813_9783030758295_11 9783030758295 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/50416 eng SpringerBriefs in Energy application/pdf n/a 978-3-030-75829-5.pdf https://www.springer.com/9783030758295 Springer Nature Springer 10.1007/978-3-030-75829-5 10.1007/978-3-030-75829-5 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 40ef013d-40ca-47c1-b664-7c01d5fdd228 9783030758295 Springer 197 [grantnumber unknown] open access
