| Description | The objective of the Project is to improve quality of life during winter in the remote rural project areas by improving utility services during the winter season. The outcome of the Project is to establish and prove sustainable and cost-effective community-based micro-hydropower supply system in remote rural areas. The expected outputs are (i) rehabilitation or upgrading of maximum six viable community-based energy organizations; (ii) implementation of maximum six pilot micro-hydropower projects each having about minimum 200 kilowatt capacity and strenghtening of distribution networks; (iii) supply of energy in pilot project areas, and (iv) greater awareness of energy saving in pilot project areas. Each micro-hydropower project would have a capacity of minimum 200 kW and would supply electricity to approximately 400 households. | ||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The project requires flexibility in developing the appropriate organizational mechanisms and community-accessible technology before its full scale expansion. The proposed activities require the close involvement of the local communities and officials in the villages. It would not be possible to organize such interfaces under a regular loan without first establishing a viable implementation model. The Project will demonstrate the effectiveness and sustainability of the community-based micro-hydropower system and provide the resources required to develop and adapt the concepts to Tajikistan circumstances to replicate the project impact on poverty reduction. | ||||
