Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On 25 June and 22 August 2012, the Chinese Ambassador and Ivorian Foreign Minister signed notes of exchange in which China committed to finance and carry out a solar power project (太阳能照明示范项目). The value of this project is unknown. It is possible this was at least partially financed by ETCA #70538. Poly Solar Energy Technology, a state-owned subsidiary, was the implementing contractor and the project was officially handed over on 12 May 2015. Three villages reaped the benefits of this project: Péré, Djamdjankro and Lazakro. Works included installing: 171 140W solar DC household systems, 35 30W solar street lights, 1 1.1kW solar power supply system for Péré primary school, and 1 800W solar power supply system for Djamdjankro village activity center.
