Description

Fondo COVID-19 AID 011876 - The initiative increases access to energy to contribute to the resilience and socio-economic development of the rural areas of the provinces of Bujumbura Rural, Ruyigi and Rutana in Burundi; the renewable energy (RE) market is strengthened by acting on two lines: 1) access to solar energy for agricultural AGR, commercial activities, basic health services and households as an enabling factor for development, with professional training and job creation; 2) relying on the "Italian system" and on the experience of the network of private companies involved in the initiative to reduce the barriers to private investment in RE the main driving force behind development. In this context, the specific objective is to improve and strengthen the agricultural production chain, the RE business chain and the quality of basic health services through a secure, affordable and sustainable supply of solar energy.The strategy is divided into two strands:F1) Access to energy for 3,100 families, 315 IGA, 12 health centers, including: 1. Awareness on the nexus of energy-development (R1); 2. Support for the development of IGA and female micro-entrepreneurship (R2); 3. Certified professional training (R3). We opted for small-scale interventions, with customized solutions to the local context, affordable, simple, and replicable that exploit the leverage effect on the target communities in the case of female micro-entrepreneurship; provide for an economic partnership of the beneficiaries for greater sustainability and ownership; they favor the creation of employment and income diversification.F2) Stimulus for private investments through: 4. public-private consultation to improve the legislative framework that discourages investments, intervening on technical and non-political aspects (R4); 5. Promotion in Italian companies of business opportunities in Burundi in the RE (R5) sector. read more close
