International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the government of the UK also announced yesterday a new partnership to help transform construction markets with as much as US$2 billion in public and private sector financing for certified green buildings in emerging markets. The UK government will spend £100m ( $126m ) providing 40 MW of clean energy capacity through 40 schemes in sub-Saharan Africa through the Renewable Energy Performance Platform ( Claire Perry ). It also said a £105m contribution would be made to the International Finance Corporation run jointly with the Renewable Energy Performance Platform to help develop green buildings in emerging markets. The government said the Africa investment would provide 40 people per year with new or improved access to clean energy. Energy and clean growth minister Claire Perry said the funding could release £ 156 m into African renewable energy markets.
