Some relevant Projects

An energy access model has been successfully developed by Esf, in

Yoro-Honduras, in collaboration with other NGOs, the community and

the Municipality, being all fully committed in the economics and

sustainability of the project.

A pilot project was designed and implemented in 23 indigenous

Tolupana ethnic communities (about 500 families) in the Yoro

Department, with very low incomes coming from high-rise coffee, grain

and livestock farm.

Based on the success of that proven model, Esf is now starting a new

project, funded by AECID (Agencia Española de Cooperación

Internacional para el Desarrollo) for additional 1000 families, which

have been suffering several hurricanes and pandemia. This project also

includes an energy planning study in the Yoro Department to be

provided to the Government.

This pilot project aimed to demonstrate the following objectives:

• Multi- actor collaboration

• Use of third generation Domestic Photovoltaic Systems

• Sustainable Economic model

• Sustainable Social model

Domestic Photovoltaic Systems

• Replacement of candles, kerosene lamps, ocote

with cleaner, healthy, safe and more effective energies.

• 3rd generation technology.

• Simpler, modern, self-installing,

• Maintenance-free and at a lower price.

Sustainable Economic Model

• Esf or external funds finances 50% of the investment, which is

assumed by beneficiaries in monthly installments tailored to their

income in line to what they spend monthly on lighting and

charging the mobile.

• Creation of a Seed Fund (Corylus Fund) with reinvestment in the

area and community buildings (schools, health centers etc).

• The Municipality assumes the other 50%.

Sustainable Social Model

• Evaluation of the effects of access to energy in terms of well-being

(economic, socio-cultural, health, women's empowerment,

institutional, environmental, etc.) to ensure effectiveness of the

project.

• Esf monitoring of the project in service and support when required

• Replicable anywhere else in the world to help reduce energy

poverty and improve living conditions for isolated and poor

families
