Strengthening financial innovation in energy supply projects for rural communities in developing countries

Carlos Rodríguez Monroy, Antonio San Segundo Hernández · 2008 · International Journal of Sustainable Development & World Ecology

Summary. Rural communities in developing countries need sustainable energy supply to reduce poverty and improve agricultural productivity. This paper surveys expert opinion on financing agricultural electrification projects and finds that new financial mechanisms can mobilize funding for renewable energy systems. The authors argue that financing models must adapt to decentralized energy production, involve beneficiaries in project planning, and help overcome high upfront costs to create sustainable, productive solutions.
