SDG Goals

A Trusted Technology Partner for Clean Energy Programs

We pair geospatial data, energy-access mapping and community-led management to help partners plan, deliver and monitor clean energy programs that are transparent, sustainable and locally owned.

Energy-Access Mapping & Survey

We use GIS mapping and remote sensing to locate and assess off-grid settlements, solar potential and energy demand, giving programs an accurate baseline of where access gaps and opportunities are.

Energy Demand & Productive-Use Analytics

Field data on energy access, affordability and productive demand is analysed to help partners, county governments and communities target solar and clean energy solutions where they will have the greatest impact.

Dashboards & Community Monitoring

Interactive dashboards translate field data into clear insights, while community energy committees track system performance and use to keep services running long after installation.

Our Clean Energy & Livelihoods Approach

From mapping and baseline assessment to community training and monitoring, our interventions are designed for measurable impact, productive energy use and local technical ownership.

How We Support Clean Energy & Livelihoods Projects

From mapping and baseline assessment to community training and monitoring, our interventions are designed for measurable impact, productive energy use and local technical ownership.

Baseline Mapping & Needs Assessment

We map energy access, livelihood opportunities and community needs before interventions begin, so programs are designed on evidence rather than assumptions.

Local Technical Ownership

We build local capacity so community energy committees and local technicians can manage, maintain and monitor solar and clean energy systems for the long term.

Livelihoods Training & Productive Use

We pair clean energy with practical training and productive-use support that builds incomes and economic empowerment, designed around women, youth and the most affected community members.

County & Institutional Partnerships

We work alongside county governments, NGOs and development partners to align clean energy and livelihoods interventions with local plans, standards and SDG 7 and SDG 8 targets.

Implementation Support

We provide technical support across data systems, field tools, installation and program delivery so partners can implement with confidence.

Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning

Dashboards and field data help track energy access, system functionality and SDG-aligned livelihood outcomes, giving donors transparent evidence of impact.
