The SWITCH to Solar Project

Making The SWITCH

SWITCH to Solar’s main objective will be achieved by reducing the environmental impacts of MSMEs energy consumption and generating green employment opportunities. More specifically, the project aims to improve production patterns and behaviours in rural areas of Cambodia by supporting MSMEs to switch from unsustainable energy to solar energy sources. Approximately 1,140,000 women, men and children across 6 provinces and 15 districts in the Tonle Sap region will benefit from greater economic opportunities at the local level, a more sustainable natural environment, and greater access to environmentally-friendly products and services from target MSMEs.
