About Us

Itoro Atakpa founded GreenOrg Strategies to work at the intersection of energy access, clean energy strategy, and economic development. Her background spans engineering, power and energy systems, and international development — training that shapes how she works: moving from technical and market analysis, through impact assessment, to program design, without losing sight of whether an intervention actually creates lasting value. Her work has taken her across sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and South Asia, engaging governments, development finance institutions, donors, and implementers on mini-grids, PAYGo solar, productive use of energy, and the financing and policy questions that determine whether these solutions scale. She founded GreenOrg Strategies on a simple premise: that energy access work is strongest when the same team that understands the engineering also understands the market, the financing, and the people the work is meant to serve.
