Lessons Learned
Development requires more than electrification. Donor
agencies have to work together to ensure convergence of
initiatives.
Local institutional development and participation are crucial
to relevance of electrification efforts.
Sustainability of off-grid systems requires that the
community be given competency training and continuinglinkage with external support organizations.
Some technology options need rethinking.

ADVANTAGES OF A MINI-GRID SYSTEM
Easier to manage in terms of O & M,
Community Organizing compared to a stand
alone solar home system
A better solution in terms of viability
Very much more sustainable
More applicable uses
