Leapfrog Alliance Wins Prestigious Global Environmental Award…It’s An Acknowledgment Of Our Innovative Approaches-PeacePro ED

In a major win for sustainable energy advocacy, the Leapfrog Alliance, an initiative that was co-launched by the Foundation for Peace Professionals (PeacePro) and 19 global organizations in 2024, has won the Impact Initiative of the Year (Global) award.

 The IMPACT Investment Awards held annually serves as a platform to recognise and honour impact investors while also promoting ‘best practice’ and thought leadership across all asset classes and geographies.

‘The Alliance focuses on boosting corporate incentives for clean energy procurement in underserved and under-electrified regions, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. By addressing long-standing gaps and inequities in greenhouse gas accounting, the coalition enables companies to directly support high impact clean energy projects beyond traditional market boundaries, a move that could accelerate energy access in the world’s most fragile communities.

Judges praised the Leapfrog Alliance for its cross-sector collaboration, focus on underserved communities, and efforts to shape international sustainability standards’ a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com said on Wednesday.

‘This is a model for how corporate incentives and community impact can come together’ the statement also quoted one of the judges as saying.

 Executive Director of PeacePro, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, who is also a multidimensional energy expert, said the award reflects the impact of the Alliance’s advocacy in influencing energy funding and policy decision-making while also noting that it was an acknowledgement of the efforts made by the drivers of the initiative.

‘For the  PeacePro, this recognition underscores our growing role in pioneering innovative approaches to energy access and climate action, proving that global collaboration can unlock solutions where they are needed most’ Mr Hamzat said.

He however noted that a similar collaboration is needed at the national level to ensure that underserved communities are genuinely included in energy planning, not through energy tokenism, but through sustainable energy provision that delivers real and measurable impact-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
