Legacy Project
Energy for All
Funder: USAID
Project Timeline: This project was completed in September 2019.
Country: Nepal
Program Area: Clean Energy & Circular Economy
Millions of people in Nepal have no access to electricity and rely on firewood, kerosene and cow dung for lighting and cooking. The resulting conditions harm human health, are damaging to the environment and make economic development more challenging. To address this, Winrock is working with a range of stakeholders — including the Asian Development Bank, the Government of Nepal, and businesses and communities — to promote smart partnerships and policies to increase the availability of clean energy.
