Rural Infrastructure (Electrification Sector)

The principal objective of the Project is to introduce decentralized options, including those based on renewable energy technologies (RETs), into the present electrification plan for rural areas. Assistance to the GOH would include: (a) support for the development of a rational rural electrification policy (b) financing of decentralized minigrid projects that demonstrate sustainable private sector or community-based operation, and (c) support for the creation of a wider market for photovoltaic (PV) through appropriate incentives to both providers and users.
