World Bank | Ci-Dev Ethiopia

Families in rural Ethiopia are transforming their lives with clean energy. Supported by the World Bank’s Ci-Dev, biogas digesters replace firewood, cutting smoke and improving crop yields. Off-grid solar brings light, boosts savings, and powers micro-enterprises. Since 2016, Ethiopia has earned $3.46 million in carbon credits, reinvesting in access and maintenance. For women like Abeba and farmers like Bohare, these solutions mean better health, income, and time. With microfinance and smart policies, solar and biogas are creating a cleaner, more equitable future - one home at a time.

Trans.Lieu was engaged by the World Bank to produce a set of two feature human-interest stories, one focusing on solar energy and another on biogas.
