Case Study: Solar Microfinance Programme in Cambodia

What are the challenges that rural Cambodians are facing in gaining access to clean and affordable energy? What role can solar energy play in addressing these challenges?

• Quality assurance

• Awareness raising

• MFI solar customer loans

• Financial incentives for solar suppliers

• Staff training and business consulting
