SNV Tanzania Energy Portfolio

Our energy portfolio facilitates access to clean and efficient energy for all. Through the development of sustainable markets in solar power, and improved cooking technology, we are increasing access to affordable, reliable and sustainable technologies and services. Together with our partner Energising Development (EnDev), over the last eight years, SNV has developed and expanded a major national clean cooking program. In partnership with local entrepreneurs, utilizing market-based approaches, we support the production and dissemination of clean cookstoves throughout Tanzania and reached over 700,000 persons with access to clean cooking technology in 2023 alone.

The Tanzania Energy team employs clear monitoring and evaluation practices which lead to verifiable and auditable results documentation, to ensure the equitable and effective delivery of all performance-based supports that are provided throughout the programme.
