🌞 Harnessing Rwanda’s Sun for Underground Power! 🔌 The Illuminating Small-Scale Mining in Rwanda (ISMR) project has hit a major milestone with the installation of a #MeshPower solar mini-grid system at our partner site, Generation Mining Development Company (GMDC). Key Takeaways: ☀️ The solar mini-grid system will generate 11 kWh of energy per day, turning sunlight into renewable power. ☀️ The system has been designed and fitted to charge head torches for mine workers, supporting their safety underground. ☀️ Excess energy will power office appliances, worker accommodation, and, with the right reach, overhead lights in mine tunnels. Check out the video below as Jean Claude Nshimiyimana, our Energy Expert and Field Officer, walks us through this exciting installation!

I had the pleasure of participating in a dialogue on water management in the Amazon -- alongside CSO counterparts at IUCN, WWF, Forest Trends, Amazon Aid, COICA, Water Integrity Network, and others -- to help the Inter American Development Bank better design an upcoming funding facility (in tandem with Green Climate Fund) to enhance climate resilience by increasing water security in the Amazon Basin. The program will improve climate forecast and warnings, invest in resilient water systems, and enhance cooperation among countries and local communities. Pact has worked with local partners in the Amazon Basin to strengthen the capacity of local indigenous organizations under the USAID Strengthening the Capacities of Indigenous Organizations in the Amazon project. In Suriname, for example Pact supported the community-based organization Galibi, in tandem with Green Heritage Fund and VIDS (Association of Indigenous Village Leaders in Suriname) to design and launch a waste management system to reduce the impact on the local reserve. https://lnkd.in/gZPNhgPt We look forward to IDB's program in the region and exploring opportunities for Pact to continue supporting local communities to co-design sustainable solutions to improve their livelihoods and conserve their natural heritage.
With proper waste management, indigenous communities in Suriname safeguard their home, the Amazon
