ADPP Angola - A2E Fund

In Angola, providing sustainable and eco-friendly energy to schools.

The Ajuda de Desenvolvimento de Povo para Povo (ADPP), which stands for Development Aid from People to People, supported by EDP, proceeded to the installation of decentralized solar energy systems, that will supply electrical energy, 24 hours a day, to two training schools for teachers, in the Catabola and Menongue counties, in Angola.

ADPP Angola: renewable energy for efficient teacher training in two Teacher Training Colleges in Angola.

Angola, Catabola (Bie province) Menongue (Cuando Cubango)

In order to change from diesel generator with high fuel and maintenance costs and high CO2 pollution, ADPP aims to change to solar energy systems with very low running costs and very low CO2 emission at two teacher training colleges (TTC). Modern electrical energy is a must for efficient teaching using computers, access to internet, TV, capacity to charge telephones and other devices as well as water pumping and light. The teacher’s trainees are frontrunners in development in the society. By giving them access to green electricity there is a higher chance for them to bring solar energy solutions to the rural communities.

One of the schools is ADPP´s TTC in Cuando Cubango, in the southern part of Angola where a new solar energy system will be installed which will secure a long-time use estimated to + 10 years. The second school is the TTC in Catabola, Bie which has had solar energy installed since 2012 but is now in need of an upgrade. The school presently runs diesel power for a few hours in the evening and some solar power in the daytime. The project will test existing equipment and replace the batteries, sending the current ones for recycling.

With the installation of decentralized solar energy systems, providing steady electricity 24h a day, the project will improve the quality of the classes taught to many pupils in the rural areas.

Expected outputs:

  • Two Training Colleges fully running on solar energy
  • Substantial savings on diesel generators
  • Improved training of 420 high quality teachers

Status December 2022:

  • Carried out an inventory in both schools to define the electrical needs and prepare for the solar energy rehabilitation/installation 
  • Installation of the solar systems in both schools 
  • Solar energy manual for trainings developed 
  • Training of students and engagement of the communities performed 
  • Execution rate: 100%
