The SMEDAN Climate and Green Energy Desk (SCGED) is an initiative of the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN). Our dedicated team is committed to catalyzing sustainable entrepreneurship in response to the climate crisis.
This initiative aims to empower and support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) actively engaged in the development of clean energy solutions and other climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies.
The urgency of this initiative cannot be overstated, as the climate crisis increasingly affects important sectors of Nigeria’s economy, most notably agriculture and sustainable power generation.
