The replacement of diesel pump by solar pump has not only reduced the carbon emission from consuming clean energy, but also cut more than 40% of the costs on operation and maintenance (O&M) comparing to diesel options. The lower life-cycle-cost of the solar power has led to a much wider and sustainable utilization of solar water pump, especially in rural areas of Tanzania.
Description of the RBF Scheme:
The project is financed by a common basket fund, administered and monitored by the World Bank. Measurable results coming out of the project include 1) water points built or rehabilitated, 2) number of households/ schools gaining access to improved sanitation. Disbursement has been made against the achievement of these measurable results.
