Light Up Internally Displaced Peoples Camps with Solar - Michael David Terungwa, Nigeria (ADEL 2017)
February 21, 2020
To strengthen the role of youth as agents of community development, the Policy Center for the New South launched a year ago a call for projects grounded in new and innovative approaches to existing local problems. The main goal of the project is to promote the use of renewable energy for internally displaced people’s camps. This will be attained by: a 5-day training for a hundred participants in solar system installation and maintenance; provision of small standalone solar systems to a hundred households providing clean energy access to the people in camps; production and distribution of locally made energy efficient stoves; awareness and sensitization campaigns.
