He has written reports published through programs funded by the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and Shell Foundation on access to finance, taxes, subsidies and other regulatory framework themes in the renewable energy sector focusing on Uganda, Malawi, Rwanda and Sierra Leone.

This study was informing interventions of a 5-year donor funded program aimed at deploying USD 140M in renewable energy, agriculture, and healthcare sectors in Uganda.
