TA 4423: Development of Community-based Micro-hydropower Supply in Remote Rural Areas - Tajikistan
Financed by Poverty Reduction Cooperation Fund

Project Summary

This TA is a pilot project to test a technically, institutionally and financially sustainable and self-sufficient model of community-managed micro-hydropower-based energy delivery in 2 pilot areas. The initial phase of the TA will focus on establishing the feasibility of such an approach.

The implementation of a Phase 2 is contingent on the satisfactory output of Phase 1. The expected outputs of Phase 2 are:

• Establishment of two viable community-based energy organizations
• Implementation of two pilot micro-hydropower projects nad strengthening of distribution networks
• Supply of energy in pilot project areas
• Greater awareness of energy saving in pilot project areas
• Creation of partnerships with other agencies for income-generating activities.
