RURAL ELECTRIFICATION – SMALL HYDRO POWER (SHP)
Newsletter n°04 # 2019 / 2020
As executing agency of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the United Nations for Industrial Development
Organization (UNIDO) launched in 2015 the project entitled "Increased energy access for productive uses through small
hydropower development in rural areas in Madagascar" in close collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and
Sustainable Development (MEDD) and the Ministry of Energy and Hydrocarbons (MEH) and their related entities.
This Newsletter presents some of the major achievements of the GEF/UNIDO project for the year 2019 and forecasts for
2020.
