Project name | Programme for the promotion of renewable energy, rural electrification and sustainable supply of household fuels (PERACOD) |
Country/region | Senegal |
Duration | 2013-2016 |
Short Description | PERACOD aims to contribute towards improved access to modern energy services for rural and urban populations. It focuses on renewable energy technologies (notably solar power systems) and the sustainable use of biomass as fuel. PERACOD provides technical support for sustainable energy management, including policy support, strategic advice training, and implements pilot projects in the field of rural electrification, forest management, and improved cook stoves. Realising that rural electrification does not automatically induce economic growth, PERACOD conducted a study in 2010 that served as an analysis and baseline document for the promotion of productive use of electricity in rural areas. The following areas were covered by the study:
PERACOD implements this strategy for the development of 22 productive uses (mainly in the cold and crops transformation sectors). Eight of these uses are managed by women. |
