An SNV working group in the sectors of biofuels, Inclusive Business and education have developed a project with a company whose key activity is developing energy projects. Low-income communities will provide services to this company for the development of biofuels.
This proposal envisages the use on the part of the company of 10,684 hectares of fallow land set aside for the cultivation of sugar cane used to produce automotive ethanol. The company has anticipated that 90 agricultural workers coming from the low-income sector will be employed in growing the sugar cane, benefiting from a tailored curricular programme. For this, a Higher Technological Institute has been identified to help SNV develop the proposed curricular programme. At this stage of the proposal, it is envisaged that services will be contracted to micro- and small-sized enterprises at the construction stage in addition to production and the commercial link-up phase.
