Objective:

The overall objective of the project is to provide a decentralised and sustainable basic electrification infrastructure to the inhabitants of the seven villages, so these remote rural villages can benefit from basic domestic electrification and from energy for vital community uses: education, health, information and public lighting and, therefore,  from the productive use of energy that will allow economic growth

Term: 2102-2017

Location:

Zamou, Solokaye, Kapé, Kakpin, Gansé, Boudou and Kromambira. The 7 villages belong to the Zanzan region, Nassian department, northeast of Côte d’Ivoire. The Zanzan region is in the north-east of Côte d’Ivoire and is the most underutilized region of Côte d’Ivoire.

Added value:

Before the project, there was no shared electricity service, so the project has contributed to increasing the community’s access to energy by almost 100%. Electricity has been secured for community uses (sanitary, educational, water pumping and religious buildings) and productive activities such as community refrigerators, freezers, mills, water pumping, storage, purification and distribution systems have been established. Overall consumer satisfaction is high, especially in small towns that no longer suffer from energy scarcity.

At least 34 local jobs have been created under the project: 11 installers + 2 federated (manager + technical director) + 7 mini-network supervisors + 14 productive use managers. At least 100 local jobs were created indirectly after the project.
