About this project
This Voluntary Project Activity (VPA) is a private sector initiative led by Namene Solar Lights and being supported by private investment and underpinned by market-based environmental financing mechanisms that provide the speed and capacity needed to scale the programme in Zambia. Therefore, this VPA is aimed to complement existing government-led programmes in the country for eradicating the use of fossil fuels for lighting and to increase the energy access.
