message: Really terrible article full of PR lingo and pseudo-intelligent nonsense. I cleaned it up but can't be bothered wading through it all properly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by OddsBodkins (talk • contribs) 09:08, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I got rid of the whole middle section. This was left some years ago, much before my time. However, I find this comment quite shocking! I am quite appalled that Wikipedia editors themselves have very little dedication to accuracy if they can't be bothered wading through content on the site.

In the first phase of its existence (2002-2014) REEEP acted largely as a re-granting institution, funding nearly 200 projects. The majority have targeted emerging markets such as India, China, South Africa and Brazil.
These REEEP projects attempted to address two key barriers to clean energy development, and gather and aggregate information on them:
Policy and regulation: promoting clear government policies and favourable, transparent and stable regulatory frameworks that will encourage long-term investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency
Innovative finance and business models: supporting new forms of financing, risk mitigation and business models to make small-sized renewable and energy efficient projects bankable.
Since 2014, REEEP has focused its work toward the targeted "de-risking" of specific markets and sectors, such as solar-powered irrigation systems in East Africa, solar-powered dairy cooling in Bangladesh, or innovative decentralized mini-grid models in Tanzania.
Regionally, REEEP has shifted concentration to low- and middle-income countries, although it continues to work in India and South Africa, which are generally considered to be emerging markets:
East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda
Southern Africa: South Africa, Zambia, Botswana
Southeast Asia: Cambodia, Myanmar
South Asia: India, Bangladesh, Nepal

Since 2014, REEEP has focused its work in low- and lower middle-income countries, as per the World Bank classification, with a per capita GDP of up to USD 4,255. https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/mic/overview
It has targeted the de-risking of specific markets and sectors, such as solar-powered irrigation systems in East Africa, solar-powered dairy cooling in Bangladesh or decentralized mini-grid models in Tanzania. Since 2018 it has had with a particular emphasis on productive use of renewable energy for agriculture. https://www.irena.org/-/media/Files/IRENA/Agency/Publication/2021/Nov/IRENA_FAO_Renewables_Agrifood_2021.pdf ,  https://www.ivecf.org/events/15101/, 
As of 2024, REEEP is implementing programmes in Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Nepal, Liberia, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Through the Private Financing Advisory Network it operates in low- and middle-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands. https://pfan.net/our-regions/
