Nyamolo Abagi

Biography

Nyamolo Abagi works at the nexus of energy access and sustainable development, leading multi-country initiatives that translate data and evidence into commercially viable, inclusive markets across Africa and Asia.

With over a decade of experience, she has led complex, cross-border partnerships spanning governments, development finance institutions, investors, and private-
sector supply chain actors. Her work integrates policy reform, capital mobilisation, enterprise growth, and user-centred design, structuring market pathways that reduce risk, attract investment, and enable scale. She builds and manages multidisciplinary teams operating across regulatory, technical, and commercial domains.

She currently leads CLASP’s contribution to the UK Aid–supported Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) programme, delivered in partnership with ESMAP and Loughborough University. The MECS consortium operates across 17 countries and aims by 2030 to expand clean cooking access to 10 million people, leverage £1 billion in public and private investment, publish over 650 research outputs, and influence policy adoption in at least 12 countries.

Ms. Abagi’s core strength lies in aligning incentives across fragmented systems, translating evidence into investable opportunities, navigating political and regulatory complexity, and building markets that work for end users, institutions, investors, and the planet alike.
