THE REA EDGE’S CLOSER TO ENERGIZING RURAL AGRICULTURE IN OFF-GRID COMMUNITIES AS AGENCY HOLDS A 2-DAY BUSINESS MODELLING WORKSHOP ON ITS ENERGIZING AGRICULTURE PROGRAMME
In order to successfully carry out the activities outlined to implement the Energizing Agriculture Programme (EAP), the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), in partnership with the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) and the Global Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP), organized a 2-day knowledge-driven, technical workshop on business modeling on February 14 and 15, 2023
The EAP is a three-year initiative aimed at stimulating the use of mini-grid electricity for agriculturally productive uses (i.e., those that drive local economic growth). The goal of the EAP is to dissolve the barriers separating electrification and agricultural development and to enable market-led solutions.
