1 FANDEMA PROJECT A CASE STUDY ON RENEWABLE ENERGY INSTALLATION TANGO, 18 th OF MARCH 2015

2 1 Fandema It is a local and community development project with the aim to empower and upgrade the life standard of women by strengthen their productive capacities and abilities through the training for the entrepreneurship in Tujereng, The Gambia, promoted by Associació Solidança and developed by Mbolo Association.

3 1.1 Fandema s basic data Location: Tujereng, West Coast Region Start operating: 2012 Charity Organization: 228/2010 Main services: Administration-office Skills training center Tailoring Tie and dye Arts and craft Solar installers Shop Cookery ICT Lab Ice block making Nursery and Primary School Maintenance: painting and welding Employees: 12 (3 women and 9 men) Open hours: Monday-Friday 8:00-18:00 Beneficiaries: women, young and children, Direct 247 and indirect 3.705

4 75m 1.2 Fandema s map 50m Constructed buildings: 1 building (Office, shop, sewing workshop) 1multipurpose hall with 2 toilets and technical and battery room 1 kitchen with 2 stores 3Primary classrooms 1 Nursery classroom Under construction: 4 classrooms Next construction: Library, ICT lab, store, fence and quarters

5 2 Sustainable development a crosscutting principle at Fandema Energy services have positive impacts on poverty eradication and the improvement of standards of living. Reliable, affordable and sustainable energy supply is a prerequisite for sustainable development. The development that Mbolo Association has focused on since the beginning.

6 2.1 Before RE-installation In 2012, Fandema could only work on those activities not depending on electricity. At that time, we were doing tie and dye, sewing with manual machines and cosmetic. FUEL S CONSUMPTION FOR RUNNING THE OFFICE AND ICT TRAINING. 1 hour for ICT training (3 laptops) 2 or 3 hours/day for office. More than 432 liters of fuel/7 months = GMD (432 )

7 2.1 Before RE-installation Watering the garden Collect the water outside the project compound 5 women doing it for more than 2 hours/day

8 Problems Inefficiency administration (running 3 hours/8 hours, 37,5%) Spoilt equipment for problems of stabilizer Time invest in watering that women could not be under education or private business No quality training for poor access to energy (i.e. not all the computers could be used for the training; not all electrical sewing machines or over lock could be used ) High amount of the budget to pay fuel and not serve for the 100% purpose

9 3 Fandema and Renewable Energy in The Gambia Fandema is a demonstrative project to show how Renewable Energies, solar and wind, are a solution to the problem of energy access, and how the access of electricity can help developing new industrial and socioeconomic activities. Being one of the project selected under GEF-UNIDO, Promoting Renewable Energy based Mini-Grids for Productive Uses in Rural Areas of The Gambia, Fandema RE system is designed to make use of RE only and, as part of the trainings given, the use of RE for economical activities will be encouraged and promoted.

10 3.1 Sizing Fandema s Hybrid Standalone System Detect the current energy needs for lightining and electric and electrical appliances Identify running hours on day and night for our appliances and lights Project future needs on energy supply

11 3.2 Fandema s Hybrid Stand-alone system On-line monitoring system

12 3.3 Do we want to go in for this? Investment: GEF-UNIDO cover 30% (52.798,66USD) of the global budget. It represented the 53% of the equipment, engineering and installation. Huge effort Mbolo search for the rest with 7 international sponsors and assumes the expenditures of local labor, land and all the administration, crow funding and management. Maintenance: after the big effort for installing, we must find out the best way to ensure the highest life spam of the equipment Qualified installers and postinstallation support: if we spend so much money, is it going to last? To work properly? Spare parts: are quality spare parts available in The Gambia? Security: how can we prevent from robatory? Satisfactory job for the highest life spam Prevention Coinstalling with our local staffs Training On-line monitoring First aid box. However, the market has expanded The system is settle with antiburglary parts Established a 24 hours security

13 4 Impact of the RE system

14 4.1 SOCIAL IMPACT 1. Expansion on the offer of skills/economic activities 2. Increment of Fandema s direct beneficiaries Fandema's activites evolution Direct Fandema beneficiaries' evolution, Tie and dye Sewing Cosmetic Literacy ICT Arts and craft Business management Cooking Nursery and Primary Retail sells Solar installers Welding New Intakes Total 3. Enhance training s quality

15 4.2 ECONOMIC IMPACT 1. Divers activities to self-sustain the project based on solar energy 2. New occupational niche identified: training solar installers; developing toolkits 3. Reliable and affordable energy for running 24/7 all the activities

16 A PV power generating equipment easily installed by users. No need any technical knowledge to install it. Everything is already ensambled by Fandema RE women workshop. GREEN JOB CREATION

17 4.3 TECHNOLOGICAL IMPACT 1. State of the art stand alone system. Encourage others to install RE 2. Knowledge transfer from the installers by a) Coinstalling with them b) Training on design, installation and maintenance 3. Socializing the high-tech

18 4.4 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 1. Reduce the GHG 2. Work towards energy efficiency Lighting (efficiency or leds) Cooking: stoves, LGP, parabolic and solar oven 3. Awareness and sensitization on renewable energy, energy efficiency and climate change

19 5 Lessons learnt Fandema is the first supporter on RE. We encourage everyone, even our beneficiaries to start a green business. It has come a revenue never expected that right now it brights us a new niche and perspective on developing new areas in RE as a new economic, professional niche aligned to the national and international policies.

20 1. It is a new growing technology in The Gambia. However all the stakeholders are willing to arise the RE standards, market and RE production in the country. In the last 2 years, it has grown the number of RE enterprises, RE equipment enterprises and also, the quality of the products in The Gambia. 2. There s a gap on quality vs affordable equipment and installers 3. RE has become our gatekeeper for other activities 4. In the international arena, a green economic activity is easier to assist than another that generates GHG 5. A referent in the community that brings security, stabilize the market, business with added value 6. It reduces the stress that can generate deadline regards depending on unreliable grid supply 7. Increase the satisfaction of the client 8. More time to think on the consolidation and expansion of your business
