Bolivia

United for Efficiency supports Bolivia’s policymakers and regulators to advance policies, strategies and actions for the phase-out of inefficient lighting. Emphasis is on an integrated policy approach so that a transition can be sustained by the domestic market without continued external support or resources.

PROJECT DETAILS

DELIVERING THE TRANSITION TO ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING
