The aim of the Smart Villages Kathmandu workshop will be to learn lessons from the Nepalese experience in off-grid energy provision to rural communities that will be of interest, and potential relevance, to other countries in the South Asia region. The workshop will focus on the conditions necessary to ensure development benefits flow from energy access and to develop an appreciation of the distinctive challenges encountered in Nepal in off-grid energy provision and how they have been overcome.
The workshop is jointly organised by Smart Villages and Practical Action. We are collaborating with the Nepal National Academy of Science and Technology.
