Ndawala Project

As the government policy of increasing access to 30%, MAREP in collaboration with ESCOM is implementing Ndawala project which aims at increasing connectivity of rural households. It was noted that after bringing electricity close to households in per urban and rural areas through MAREP phases still, households were taking long to connect due to reasons which include inability to meet connection fee hence the introduction of NDAWALA. Through Ndawala households are connected to electricity grid with financial and technical support from Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining under MAREP at a cost which will be recovered through electricity bills. When one buys electricity units a certain percentage is chunked to pays back the cost.
