"One of the biggest challenges we’ve seen in solar infrastructure is it falling into disrepair because maintenance costs weren’t properly funded"– Dr. Neil Buddy Shah, CHAI CEO This is what makes this week’s announcement different. The new partnership between Sweden and CHAI isn’t just another solar power initiative – it’s rethinking how we sustain healthcare infrastructure in Africa. Previous approaches focus on • Short-term grant funding focused on installation, not maintenance • Donor-funded pilots electrifying a handful of facilities, limiting impact • No sustainable financing for repairs and updates The new model focuses on • Blending private and public financing for greater impact • Building maintenance costs into the core funding structure by contracting private sector • Aggregating demand to achieve national-scale electrification and unlock economies of scale • Creating a framework that can be replicated across the continent This isn’t just about installing solar panels – it’s about ensuring they keep working for years to come, so healthcare workers can focus on what matters most: saving lives. Starting in South Africa, Eswatini, Malawi, and Kenya, this innovative financing approach could revolutionize how we think about sustainable healthcare infrastructure. https://ow.ly/Wsgl50V5x3W
