Our Advocacy Work
GOGLA actively facilitates exchanges on best practice policies and regulations to scale up the off-grid solar industry. We develop knowledge and produce resources to inform dialogue with governments and policymakers such as the Guidance for Governments and Country Briefs. Through advocacy materials and analysis, we promote national-level policy change to create enabling policy environments for the off-grid solar sector.
We work together closely with national renewable energy associations, governments and international donors to increase our impact. Examples include initiatives such as Community of Champions, PowerUp! and the Africa Clean Energy (ACE) Program.
Handbook for Governments & Community of Champions
The Handbook for Governments offers advice to governments in designing policies and regulations that will enable and support the off-grid solar sector. The Community of Champions supports ongoing dialogue between governments, the private sector and development partners to help achieve universal energy access in Africa.

Explore our ToolsPolicy Knowledge Hub
GOGLA’s Policy Knowledge Hub shares a comprehensive pool of publicly available resources on market insights and enabling environment for off grid solar solutions. These offer policy and regulatory updates, analyses, and reports of selected markets, covering such areas as taxation, quality assurance, data protection and e-waste.
NREA Online Resource Portal
National Renewable Energy Associations (NREAs) are key actors in creating lasting, enabling policy environments for the off-grid solar sector and they play a vital role in developing national off-grid electrification markets. Without a strong voice representing the industry at the national level, governments and other regional stakeholders do not have a legitimate counterpart. Associations are crucial in representing the industry in the wider off-grid solar ecosystem.
End User Subsidy Lab
GOGLA, ESMAP/Lighting Global, EnDev and Africa Clean Energy (ACE), have created the End User Subsidy Lab: pooling knowledge, technical expertise, and funding. We welcome all stakeholders to contribute to the Lab with resources available to them, be it knowledge, expertise, or financial contributions.
