EnDev is pleased to share its 2022 achievements on transforming markets for renewable energy worldwide and supporting the most vulnerable populations gaining access to clean cooking and electricity.
“Even in the face of the difficulties posed by the aftermath of the pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, we take great pride in acknowledging a remarkable accomplishment that surpasses our initial goals. As we rejoice in this achievement, we recognize that our efforts must persist. We maintain our commitment to advancing energy access, with the aim to reach 36 million individuals by 2025. Our focus will be on prioritizing vulnerable populations and directing our attention towards the adoption of higher-tier cooking solutions”, said EnDev Programme Director Alexander Haack.
