Introduction
With the lack of technological infrastructure, competing demands on people’s time, investments are needed to scale deep into the technology used for wool pre-processing at the village level. Still further, modularity and the reliability from energy generation at site, through distributed renewable energy systems, can be leveraged to power wool processing, potentially avoiding drudgery, increasing production, and improving net incomes. Supporting such applications can ensure democratic participation towards the national climate mitigation goals and more importantly, a just energy transition.
Thus, towards this cause, UNDP is seeking the services of an agency to conduct an innovation challenge to identify and work with civil society, individuals, groups or collectives to develop renewable energy-based solutions and demonstrate the identified stages of wool processing centre in the high-altitude Himalayas.
