A new matchmaking platform to directly link providers of grant funding pledged to South Africa’s Just Energy Transition Investment Plan (JET-IP) with domestic beneficiaries is aiming to ensure the disbursement of at least R600-million in grant funding to 20 projects in 2025 and facilitate disbursements of R1.5-billion to 50 projects in 2026. Grant recipients could include local small firms, trade unions, municipalities, as well as community-based and nongovernmental organisations.
