Solar Energy and Sustainable Development
Solar Energy and Sustainable Development
The implementation of Community-based Adaptation project will need to make first a baseline assessment in order to collect relevant data about community and ecosystem context, climate change risks and the impact on livelihood and to select the most suitable solar technologies to implement according the need of target population and climate change risks.

The objectives of the project are to help target populations to built and use small solar technologies for cooking food, boiling water and drying food crop or forestry products thus contributing to the decreasing of deforestation, providing climate change adaptation because of growing scarcity of fuel wood, to eat more hygienic food and sell more value added agricultural and forestry products.
