13. Challenges and Barriers Lack of communities institutional capacity due to people contribution at the beginning of the project Most of the user don’t want to pay the cost of system without seeing the product Poor access to finance by some user Lack of knowledge for the use of good qualified product, operation and maintenance of the system Lack the Rules and Regulations of Rural Electrification Law Equipment and capacity building for DRD staff for inspection and feasibility study process Participation of women in VEC Private sector participation in remote area Guidelines of the mini-grid system, operation and maintenance, collection of tariff (1% of household target in first year of NEP Project) Time is limited to complete target installation for 16-17 FY Feasible data for mini-grid and budget allotment for feasible study

14. Way Forward  Develop the capacity building/training  Implementing the target of the installation by (2016-2017) FY  Geospatial electrification planning: update and new data collection.  Prepare the project progress reports based on the project results monitoring framework  Support preparation and implementation of Rural Electrification Law and related regulations  Development of mini-grid/small-power producer regulatory framework including tariff-setting mechanism  Appropriation of Propose Mini-grid Project from State and Region and Private Sector into NEP Project and Development Partner’s Cooperation project.  Support the Mini-grid pre-feasibility and feasibility  Increasing the mini-grid project up to 10% of household at the end of phase 1 project  Implementing the target of the Project Coordination with DRD, NGO, INGO, DP inline with NEP Project  To implement the Project’s Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Framework.
