This study is segmented into two parts. The first part focuses on the documentation of good practices and lessons learned to enable programme leaders and senior management to understand the overall solar programming across sectors in Yemen. The second part, an operational guideline, focuses on the technical and implementation aspects of solar programme support to technical Solar Specialists and front-line staff to be used as a reference document.

The Enhanced Rural Resilience in Yemen (ERRY) solar project has enabled communities to rely on themselves and improve their livelihood through better access to solar energy. Local health centers have reopened, and lives have been saved because lab services are now powered by solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Children in the community can now be vaccinated and immunized at the local health facility since it has a refrigerator that can store adequate supplies for two months. Children, who are now vaccinated, can enjoy their education at schools and can even study at night.
