MIGA's Risk Mitigation Support Helps Bboxx Deliver Clean Off-Grid Solar Energy in Central and East Africa

Last year, MIGA issued guarantees to help Bboxx, a company that provides households with access to off-grid solar power, expand its operations in Kenya, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Hoda Moustafa, Global Head of Portfolio Management at MIGA, speaks with Mansoor Hamayun, CEO of Bboxx, as well as Ashwin West of African Infrastructures Investment Managers (AIIM), and Harry Guinness of Lion's Head, whose companies are the guarantee holders of this transaction, focusing on why this project is exciting and innovative, what roles they play, and why MIGA's risk mitigation support is critical.
