Project brief
The project titled “Sustainable Energy for Smallholder Farmers (SEFFA) in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Uganda’’ will address the lack of access to sustainable and affordable renewable energy technologies and services for productive use of energy (PUE) in the agricultural sector. Therefore, the project will promote the distribution and use of solar-powered technologies and energy services focused on irrigation, cooling, and drying, to increase production, improve processing, and reduce post-harvest losses for the smallholder farming households and the related agri-businesses in the horticultural and dairy value chains. The project was initiated by the Energising Development (EnDev), co−financed by the IKEA Foundation, and is being implemented jointly by SNV and GIZ.
In Kenya, SNV will focus on the market development support to enhance the last mile distribution and uptake of the solar-powered pumps for productive use by the smallholder farmers in Machakos, Makueni, Kajiado, Kirinyaga, Meru, and Muranga. Support to the SWPs distributors will include a Results-Based Financing (RBF) mechanism as the main facilitation mechanism, in addition to the need-based but optional Capacity Building, Awareness Creation, and Technical Assistance Support.
