Essor

Achievement #5 Essor played a critical role in the development of the ‘GUIGE’ - a practical guidance tool with the power to achieve real social impact by addressing gender imbalances in the DRC energy sector. Find out more here: en.essorrdc.com

Achievement #4 In Summer 2021, an international consortium agreed to develop, finance and build solar-powered mini-grids in the DRC which, when live, will serve more than 500,000 people. Read about the critical role Essor played in this achievement: bit.ly/35xRQKP

Achievement #3 The DRC is home to the 2nd largest carbon sink on earth. Despite this, the country receives little international climate finance. Read about the work we did to resolve this issue, by developing a Climate Finance and Policy Roadmap, here: bit.ly/3tWiYgv

Achievement #2 “Five years ago, I could not imagine having a functional, digitalised registry…Essor was the first to introduce the idea, sell it, and make it attractive.” Read more about our work to deliver an online Collateral Registry in the DRC here: bit.ly/3GSjvDN

Achievement #1 Essor’s support to roll out business registration single window centres in the DRC has been a contributing factor to the country’s improvement in the World Bank’s Starting a Business indicator on the Ease of Doing Business Index. Read more: bit.ly/3KsnrgV

On climate, the world will succeed, or fail, as one. Now is the time for real action. #COP26 begins today. We must make it count. #TogetherForOurPlanet

Pour les communautés en #Afrique, les impacts du changement climatique se font déjà sentir. Alors que les dirigeants du 🌍 se réunissent pour intensifier l'action en faveur du climat et s'assurer que nous ne dépassons pas 1,5°C, voici pourquoi la #COP26 est si importante 👇
