Project Description
The project has two main objectives: Firstly, to match young graduates seeking employment with the growing demand of

solar energy companies for skilled workers, and secondly, to meet the demand for services and qualified service providers, especially in rural areas. To meet these objectives, TIV has developed the Tukole web platform and app, which enables communities to access technically competent and trained solar technicians nationwide in a sustainable and convenient way. To raise awareness of the app and recruit interested staff, TIV runs campaigns in different parts of Uganda. In a second step, CREEC offers specialised trainings for graduates and young workers who are interested and want

to gain more technical skills, and who are subsequently accepted by TIV as technicians in the Tukole app. 40 technicians are trained from each of the four districts of Kampala, Jinja, Gulu and Mbarara, bringing the total number of technicians trained to 160. Customised training materials are developed that focus on troubleshooting, repairs, and maintenance to ensure that the technicians meet the exact demands of the market. To achieve its objectives, the project expands the usage of the innovative Tukole app to include solar installation technicians. End-users can contact technicians in their area directly and thus receive technical support through repairs and maintenance. Furthermore, users can review and rate the quality of services through the app, which ensures that a high overall level of quality is achieved. After the conclusion of the initial project, the app ensures sustainability as trained technicians can continue to use the app and new technicians can join the network.
