Bonn: Internship on Demand-Side Subsidies for Energy Access – Energising Development

Access to energy is a pre-requisite for sustainable economic and social development. However, significant inequalities in energy access persist patrially due to products being unaffordable for marginalised population groups. Through its component Energy Access through Demand-Side Subsidies (DSS), Energising Development (EnDev) is piloting DSS mechanisms to promote access to subsidised solar home systems or improved / clean cookstoves for marginalised households (incl. refugees and host communities), while minimising market distortion and encouraging collaboration with the private sector. About EnDev: The EnDev partnership is a joint results-oriented global programme of Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland. EnDev's objective is to provide access to modern energy services for households, social institutions as well as small and medium sized enterprises. EnDev is active in 20+ countries in Africa and Asia.
