Challenge: Kunak confronted the lack of electrical infrastructure at Yakowa Main Market, Kafanchan, reflecting Nigeria’s broader issue of energy access, especially in bustling commercial centers vital for local economies.
Action: With USADF’s $100,000 grant and DDI’s support in 2015, Kunak set out to revolutionize the market with solar energy, aiming for a sustainable commercial hub.
Result: The project facilitated the move of 20 fish and meat sellers into modern facilities, enhancing trade and setting a precedent for renewable energy in marketplaces.
