The project will include learning from existing initiatives, such as piloting microenterprises with solar-powered freezers to keep aquatic foods fresh for a longer time, which will help to improve rural fish-based livelihoods.

After pilot projects in 2015, now 607 solar systems have been installed in villages in the districts of Aileau, Viqueque and Baucau, affecting 4,000 people.

The learning study provides practical examples of how the E4A team has struggled, learned and adapted.
