Development of a strategy to support the upscale of sustainable energy technologies in the GBM network in Kenya:"Unlocking Solution for Clean Energy Initiatives"
GBM in partnership with Ashden Trust, undertook a feasibility study to determine which efficient energy technologies would be best suited to the members of GBM’s network through a pilot project in 2012. The viable technologies identified included solar lantens and cook stoves. Since the Trust rewards innovative and scalable projects which deliver social, economic and environmental benefits GBM was given more support to develop a strategy to upscale and roll out of efficient sustainable technologies across its Networks.
This process enabled GBM to explore GBM role and capacity in the upscaling process, formulate a strategy and an action plan. Opportunities exist for GBM in terms of capacity building, payment for ecosystems services and advocacy or use planted trees compensation funds as a guarantee.
