Transition to climate-friendly agricultural value chain by empowering women\u2019s access to sustainable energy in Morocco \u2013 GCF proposal<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The \u201cTransition to Climate-Friendly Agricultural Value Chain by Empowering Women\u2019s Access to Sustainable Energy in Morocco\u201d program aims to mobilize end-user financing for women\u2019s access to small-scale renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies for use in the agriculture value chain. It addresses gender-specific barriers\u2014including women\u2019s limited access to finance and lack of technical, business, and financial skills\u2014as well as gender-based energy policies, and raises awareness about women\u2019s involvement in sustainable energy in semi-urban and rural areas. Although commercially available, uptake of these technologies is constrained by high capital costs and lack of financing options.<\/p>\n

To support the development of this proposal to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), ACS developed an pipeline of projects by target beneficiaries in the Dr\u00e2a-Tafilalet region. This pipeline will feed into the feasibility assessment and full project proposal to be submitted to the GCF. The proposal will directly contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on Gender Equality (SDG 5) and Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7), which in turn will have multiplier effects and contribute towards reaching ten other SDGs, particularly by improving livelihoods, health, education, and economic growth, and by increasing access to water and job opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
