Project Description
Access to and awareness of clean and affordable energy solutions is an important pillar for the economic development of the region. An important focus of the project is therefore to work with so-called lead farmers at the local level to facilitate on-farm practical trainings. In parallel, the project also strengthens the supply side by supporting national and international manufacturers and traders to expand their distribution channels to rural areas. To enable more people to purchase solar water pumps, the project promotes access to appropriate, affordable and flexible payment models through local credit providers or rural savings and credit groups. In the end, the economic viability of the solar pumps also depends on the buyers generating higher yields with the solar water pumps. Focussing on the highest return on investment, the project promotes solar water pumps for irrigation in horticulture farming (vegetables and pulses) and animal farming (water and fodder for animals) through training and education of smallholder farmers on best farming practices and application of solar water pumps.
