My fellow bloggers on this blog have found interesting technical solutions for solar power. They each have their place in the solar panel markets and rural service industry. What I have been trying to figure out is the investment systems that could be incorporated into rural communities in order to facilitate the system investments.
So far I have identified two possibilities. First there are a plethora of Aid organizations in developed countries. These organizations could be persuaded into investing in the rural communities if they receive clear documentation of need, usefulness and sustainability. The challenge is to identify the Aid organizations and set them up with suitable rural communities in order to facilitate the project. The facilitation work itself is also laborious.
Second there exist several microloan organizations aimed at reducing poverty and improving living conditions. Working with these organizations to provide electricity for rural communities can mitigate problems for telecom companies looking to invest in rural community GSM access points.

One creative micro lending initiative is found here - http://www.kiva.org somewhere to start!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a good idea to use existing networks and local knowledge. What kind of partner organization would be best for productive symbiosis?
