Energy Access in off-grid and hard-to-reach communities

May 8, 2024

This is ENVenture’s signature program. since 2016, we have worked to leverage the existence of grassroots organizations like CBOs(5) and VSLAs to deliver clean energy technologies in off-grid communities. Uganda has over 20,000 CBOs and 15,000 VSLAs at the local governance level that are formed to solve local community problems providing a network of thousands of potential entrepreneurs that have the potential to contribute significantly to initiatives aimed at addressing the energy access problem in Uganda. ENVenture leverages their engagement in delivering other community interventions to deliver clean energy technologies given the close relationships they have developed over the years delivering other community development interventions in their respective communities and their existing structures and resources.Our approach empowers energy entrepreneurs from off-grid and hard-to-reach communities to create a trusted network of clean energy enterprises that sell entry-level clean energy technologies like solar home kits, energy-efficient cookstoves, non-electric water filters, and briquettes in off-grid communities.
