3DEN Call for Proposals: Digitalisation for Flexible and Resilient Energy Systems Program (Phase II)

Reach us on

Applications are open for Digitalisation for Flexible and Resilient Energy Systems Program (Phase II). The BASE Foundation has launched the call for pilot projects on Digitalisation for Flexible and Resilient Energy Systems targeting eight countries.

The initiative aims to accelerate global climate action and uptake of clean energy models, building on the success of Phase I. This expansion aligns with Italy’s “Piano Mattei” and the “Rome Process”, which aim to deepen partnerships between Italy and Africa, focusing on sustainable development and energy transition.

Funding Information

Projects must have a budget between USD 500,000 and USD 2,000,000.

Digitalisation for Flexible and Resilient Energy Systems Program Duration

Projects must be implemented within a 24-month timeframe, including all phases from initiation to final reporting.

Geographic Focus

Brazil, South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Tanzania are eligible countries.

Eligibility Criteria for Digitalisation for Flexible and Resilient Energy Systems Program

UN agencies cannot submit applications to avoid conflicts of interest, as UNEP manages the selection and evaluation process.
The consortium lead must not be from one of the eligible focus countries. However, they must demonstrate a high level of local content or presence (either themselves or with other consortium members).
Small companies are welcome to apply. Partnerships with stakeholders relevant to the project’s specificity, such as energy companies or others, are encouraged to enhance the project’s implementation capacity and scalability.
Non-UN international organizations are eligible to apply.
