China’s embassy in Gabon has handed over 61 solar kits to the Noya department for residents of rural areas not connected to the electricity grid. Prefect François Parfait Ntoutoume Essone said a coordinated distribution was needed to ensure they reached the villages most in need, reports the Gabonese Press Agency.
China’s embassy in Gabon has handed over 61 complete solar kits for villages without electricity in the Noya department. Noya Prefect François Parfait Ntoutoume Essone received the donation on Wednesday in Cocobeach, according to the Gabonese Press Agency (AGP).
The equipment is intended to provide an independent source of power for lighting and some basic household needs. Noya Departmental Council President Christian Urbain Nguema Nze said access to energy could also support socio-economic activities in remote communities. Local officials said a coordinated distribution mechanism would deliver the kits to the targeted villages.
The handover comes two days after the announcement of a cooperation project between Gabon and China involving a cement plant and 500 homes. The cement plant and 500-home project with China was announced on 19 October.
