Cote d’Ivoire is a country rich in natural resources. After a period of instability it is once again industrializing fast. Small-scale solar projects bring clean, affordable and sustainable power to the whole country so everyone can share the benefits of industrialization. Seven solar power stations have been built across the Zanzan region. The reliable and affordable electricity they supply encourages villagers to set up small businesses. Behind the project is UNIDO, the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, working with the European Union, the government of Cote d’Ivoire, the Global Environment Fund and local NGO the Akwaba Foundation.
