Background
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)’s Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) launched the activities in Nigeria in 2014, first under the Nigeria Regional Transition Initiative (NRTI), and later the Nigeria Lake Chad Basin (NLCB) Project. NLCB conducts small, predominantly in-kind grants in Middle-belt Nigeria, ranging from infrastructure rehabilitation to community dialogue and direct support to reduce community and individual vulnerabilities to violent extremist groups and improve community security in targeted locations. Most of these locations have intermittent to no access to the national electricity grid, as well as restricted access to fuel to power generators due to the ongoing insurgency. These conditions make solar streetlight a prime solution to illuminate the communities.
