In July 2025, RENAC launched 100 full scholarships for Viet Nam as part of the Green Banking Project, supported by GIZ Viet Nam, IFC Green Commercial Banks, and the Private Finance Advisory Network (PFAN). By the end of 2025, 15 scholarships were awarded for the Applying Green Energy Financing (AGEF) – Small Scale training under the new project phase, which started in November 2025 and will run until February 2026. This marks the first scholarship intake, bringing together a cohort of highly motivated professionals ready to become agents of change within their organisations and across the sector.
The next call for applications for the Green Hydrogen training with 20 scholarships and the Green Energy Finance Specialist (GEFS), Small Scale with 15 scholarships, will open in 2026, with the global programme running in Colombia, Brazil, Kenya, South Africa, Indonesia, and Viet Nam.
