USAID offers in-person training to help you understand, design, and implement auction programs. You can watch recordings and view training material on auction design, bidding simulations, and advanced design elements.
USAID supports partner countries on their journey to self-reliance by helping design and implement auctions that can rapidly scale clean energy at low prices and advance national economic and clean energy goals. USAID provides support for auctions through bilateral and regional energy programs and a variety of programs managed out of Washington, D.C.
USAID offers in-person training and webinars for international development professionals, energy ministries, utilities, policymakers, and regulators. Training programs draw on USAID’s experience supporting auctions globally, including in Afghanistan, Colombia, El Salvador, India, Kazakhstan, and Mexico. USAID’s work also draws on additional insights from sub-Saharan Africa gained through Power Africa’s support to the International Finance Corporation’s Scaling Solar initiative in Ethiopia, Senegal, and Zambia.
As a trusted auctions technical advisor, USAID works with host country governments and partners to achieve locally sustained results by helping countries mobilize public and private funding, strengthen local capacities, and accelerate enterprise-driven development. This approach fosters resilient, stable, and prosperous countries that are more self-reliant.
