2,075.17 Tn of CO have been avoided due to the reduction of deforestation by the declining use of wood by changing the traditional stove by new and improved stoves.
New improved stoves have been constructed.
620 (56.9 Kw)
Photovoltaic systems
have been installed and 415 (1.03 Kw) Solar lamps with cellular chargers have been sold by micro entrepreneurs which were trained by USAID ProParque.
Out of this 1,539 improved stoves and 264 (16.2 Kw) Photovoltaic systems have been installed with USAID ProParque funding , the rest were results of the business carried out by micro entrepreneurs trained by USAID ProParque with the help provided by USAID ProParque
25,105
Users were benefited with RE systems. 11,859 with improved stoves and 13,246 with either photovoltaic systems or solar lamps.
111
Local certified micro entrepreneurs of RE on different Sustainable Productive Landscape. 92 micro credits negotiated by micro entrepreneurs who were trained by USAID ProParque with 5 hired microfinance institutions.
The micro entrepreneurs assets have increased on average a L.19,005.97 a year.
37microfinance institutions interested in promoting RE systems were identified and put into contact with micro-entrepreneurs.
