| Description | The project will support a long-term programmatic approach to develop renewable energy according to the country’s Renewable Energy Action Plan. The project supports Phase I of the REAP, building renewable energy awareness, demand, and capacity. The project will: (a) building institutional capacity at national, provincial and district levels to implement the Action Plan and develop the necessary policies and regulatory frameworks; (b) facilitate regulatory frameworks that support independent small power producers for small hydro power and other renewable energy generation; (c) establish a fund to finance and support rural community-based electric cooperatives; (d) support development and application of pico-hydro technology; (e) development renewable energy markets and private businesses. This project is the first in a series of projects that are expected to expand renewable energy activities further. |

The small hydro rehabilitation component is on schedule to achieve its objective. The wind component is progressing. The community based renewable energy grids component has made progress after the reassessment of risks related to subprojects screening and selection.
