instruments, PV components or batteries. This also includes a 5kWp PV system, which ensures the power supply on the one hand and serves as a demonstration and training object on the other. HVTC also further develops its curricula and offers three different training programmes. Finally, additional trainers, technicians and management experts are hired. The project provides 60 unemployed young adults with technical and business skills and supports them to create their own business opportunities including product sales, installations, and servicing. Accordingly, the training programmes also improve the living conditions and awareness of the local population through the use of the technologies by equipping 46 social institutions with solar applications and creating a demonstration field with a solar water pump. These illustrate the productive use of solar technology for the trainees, resident smallholders and the general public. Finally, HCO informs more than 3,000 people about solar energy through campaigns.
