Burning biomass indoors for heating and cooking purposes continues to adversely affect the health of the population. Moreover, the most vulnerable quintile in rural areas spends up to a quarter of their monthly consumption expenditure on energy during the winter, cutting costs on food and clothes.<\/p>\n<h3>Moving towards greater financial inclusion for the population to obtain the benefits of new technologies is vital for Tajikistan to fight energy poverty.<\/h3>\n<p>To bolster this objective, the pilot project will identify families from Rudaki, Vahdat, Hisor, and Faizabad, where living conditions can potentially be improved through adapting energy-efficient solutions and enhancing job opportunities for skilled masters. Additionally, it strives to increase awareness of creating, providing and monitoring sustainable housing solutions among all stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.geres.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/tajikistan-scale-up-project-picture.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Femmes transformatrices de produits agroalimentaires territoire des collines b\u00e9nin&#8221; title_text=&#8221;tajikistan-scale-up-project-picture&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||35px|||&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project will support most vulnerable families and it will explore ways to make energy-efficient solutions more accessible and common,\u201d said Viktoria Demidova, Geres Tajikistan Country Representative. \u201cWe believe this project has huge potential to support a just transition in Tajikistan, and to scale-up. We\u2019re excited about this collaboration with Geres,\u201d shared Daniel Magall\u00f3n, Managing Director at BASE.<\/p>\n<p>Initial stages will include detailed research on targeted regions, stakeholder consultations to assess barriers, in-depth analysis of energy efficiency measures that could be utilized for affordable housing retrofits and new builds. Geres will then mobilize local stakeholders and pilot the most appropriate energy-efficient solutions in selected households.<\/p>\n<p>Solutions may include thermal insulation, improved heating and cooking stoves, solar verandas, etc. The BASE will support Geres to help identify potential business models for financing the development of energy-efficient and climate-resilient housing in Tajikistan for future scaling up of the project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>About our partners<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eda.admin.ch\/sdc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swiss Cooperation<\/a><\/strong> Office in Tajikistan represents the Government of Switzerland and supervises Swiss funded projects implemented in Tajikistan.
