Case 2: Women's Renewable Energy Cooperative in a Rural Sahelian Community
A women's cooperative in a rural Sahelian community established a solar-powered energy center to support income-generating activities and provide essential energy services to local residents. The center provides clean electricity for small-scale agricultural and food processing activities and offers mobile phone charging services to the community. To strengthen the sustainability and efficiency of the initiative, volunteers from the RUN ENERGY Project provided technical assistance to the cooperative through training on solar system maintenance, energy management, operational planning, and system optimization. This support improved the performance of the solar installation, enhanced the technical capacities of the women involved, and strengthened the cooperative's long-term sustainability. As a result, the initiative contributed to increased income generation, increased participation of women in the green economy, and improved access to reliable and clean energy services for the wider community.
