In Chad, less than five per cent of the population has access to electricity. Outside urban areas, it’s practically zero. Without a generator fuelled by diesel, there’s no chance of getting power. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from fossil fuels are contributing to climate change and cause widespread harm to lives, communities, infrastructure, institutions and budgets. UNIDO is playing a lead role in assisting Chad. Working with its partners, UNIDO has built solar power stations in three different parts of the country, serving three different groups of beneficiaries. Produced by: LINX Productions
