Context and challenges<\/h2>\n

The Dry Zone in the center of Myanmar is home to 30% of the country\u2019s household. Around 80% of Burmese households cook with wood on traditional fireplaces, thus putting great pressure on the forest resources contributing to the 2% annual deforestation rate. The region has low coverage of the national power grid, although the government is pushing for its expansion. Rural populations\u2019 lack of access to modern quality energy and to sustainable energy solutions increases their vulnerability and severely constrains their socio-economic development. The use of biomass as the main source of energy is responsible for the strenuous work carried out by women as well as for respiratory diseases linked to exposure to harmful fumes.<\/p>\n

Following participatory workshops with communities and women networks, Geres is working to expand the range of products accessible to families, namely solar home systems in non-grid-connected villages and energy-efficient appliances in grid-connected ones, as well as improved cookstoves, in order to increase the number of people with improved energy access and to disseminate even more high-quality sustainable solutions.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/geres-test.preprod-securite-bastille2.ovh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/geres.nos-actions.nos-projets.myanmar.acces-energie-rural-myanmar-article.jpg” _builder_version=”3.25.3″ custom_margin=”||42px|||”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″]<\/p>\n

Objectives ans solutions<\/h2>\n

REACH project objectives are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
• Contribute to structuring an environment conducive to the dissemination of sustainable energy solutions by supporting the emergence of last-mile distributors and retailers, missing links to reach the most isolated villages<\/li>\n
• Strengthening women\u2019s entrepreneurship in the energy sector through the development of an innovative and inclusive distribution network, predominantly female, and building their capacity business and technical skills. The integration of women into the local economic fabric and their empowerment will allow the entrepreneurs to boost their livelihoods.<\/li>\n
• Facilitate access to finance to ensure low-income households are capable of acquiring high-quality energy products. These products will improve the living conditions of rural households because they are safer, more cost-efficient in the long term and reduce the households\u2019 strenuous chores, which affect disproportionately women. They will also reduce the pressure on Myanmar\u2019s natural resources and reduce CO_{2<\/sub><\/li>\n}
• Capitalize and disseminate the lessons learned to policy-makers and development institutions to guarantee the increase in access to sustainable energy solutions by the most vulnerable people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
