ERF Releases Major Body of Work on MSMEs and Clean Energy Transitions in MENA

As part of The Clean Energy for Development: A Call to Action (CEDCA) initiative, the Economic Research Forum has released a major new body of work that sheds light on how micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) can drive inclusive and sustainable energy transitions across the MENA region.
ERF’s project focuses on six MENA countries—Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Sudan, and Tunisia—and provides:
•    Case studies and policy briefs on MSMEs and renewable energy
•    New quantitative and qualitative datasets
•    Thematic papers on solar deployment, gender, green jobs & more

This research explores the economic and social challenges facing MSMEs in the transition to clean energy—such as subsidy reform, green investment barriers, and gendered labour gaps—while offering evidence-based insights to inform more equitable and effective energy policy in the region.
