Description (Below Key Messages)
Key study highlights:
- Concern areas: The study identified limited access to power & water, contained use of LPG, poor sanitation facilities, seasonality in village work-hours, and ambiguity in harnessing waste to energy as key issues contributing to energy and income insecurities.
- Synergistic relationship: A system-dynamic approach yielded a holistic picture of all factors and sub-factors impacting the village ecosystem, thus prompting a need to bring in potential localised large/small scale energy solutions to meet the families' aspirations.
- Design an energy intervention: Conceptualising feasible energy-based approaches factoring in specific village-centric conditions, a robust institutional and financial framework; and sustainable methods towards enabling livelihood improvement (in sync with CMSA's ideology).
