Brief Description

The "Promoting Solar Self-Consumption" programme in Djibouti fosters sustainable energy practices by addressing regulatory barriers and enhancing local capacities for solar adoption.

The program promotes solar self-consumption in Djibouti to enhance energy access and sustainability. It identifies regulatory barriers and develops recommendations while establishing standards and training programs. The initiative directly benefits 350,000 people by providing reliable, affordable solar energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and fostering economic growth. Partnerships with local governments and financial institutions strengthen the program's impact, contributing to climate resilience and advancing Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13.
