Clean Energy Innovation Facility (CEIF) Platform Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) and Research Partner

The Clean Energy Innovation Facility (CEIF) was established in 2019 and aims to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative clean energy technologies in developing countries. It is funded through Official Development Assistance (ODA) and is part of the UK's international climate finance commitment. CEIF contributed towards the UK's Mission Innovation commitment to double spending on energy innovation in 2020/2021 and contributes towards the UK's Ayrton Fund commitment to support clean energy innovation in developing countries. It supports research, development and demonstration activities for innovative clean energy technologies for industrial decarbonisation, sustainable cooling, energy storage and smart energy in ODA-eligible countries, such as planning and implementing pilot projects, capacity building for innovators and producing analytical products. The Department has now appointed, through this contract award, a Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Partner for CEIF-related programmes.
