All material and demonstration equipment is bought locally. Participants are recruited through awareness and advertisement campaigns, which are broadcast over the radio. The training is designed to improve their theoretical and practical technical capabilities and to prepare them to take up jobs as technicians for solar home appliances. To strengthen the practical application, the approach also foresees an internship for each participant and a networking event for the regional solar energy sector. Thereby, the approach not only improves the employment opportunities of each participant, but in the long term also increases the quality of service for solar installations and repairs in the Zou region.
