for him, he wants to increase polarization. have to wait for trump's rise to power. usa to writes starts january 18th on d, w. the there's no shortage of sun in africa. so console a power be part of daily life here. that's one of the topics in this new edition of echo africa. i'm, i'm gonna coordinate in. looks like as i'm going over in may, goes my jazz, my colleagues, chris e lives was always on paul's in africa's biggest city. thank you, my lama. let's look at what's coming up onto the issue of schoolbag. that's transforming plus rooms in uganda. evan cycling in cost. nothing with all the

challenges and how simple matches help. our community has gone up to cope with water shortage. did you know? but africa has the big guess solar energy potential in the world. because not everyone does. it takes full of thinking and digits. ease to recognize least a mess results in ivory coast. we met a woman on trip and walk with the nickname mama sola so loved by the let's see how she is. and this may most last the guy bringing solar power to the most remote corners of ivory coast. okay. and to bring you up and it declares he said law has made this her mission. jim wants to move on the final and the goal today is to install solar panels here on this isolated funds

which isn't connected to the national grid. the farmer has invested in a 500 watts solar panel system to meet these electricity needs. also, today with solar energy equipment, it's important to point out that there's no longer any that which makes it possible to run solar power systems at lower costs. that makes it easier for her to find customers in a dig left. he said to us has been working in the solar industry for 13 years. few women work in the sector and especially not as entropy in us. know what you know to you. this may raise awareness among the population of teaching people that solar energy is clean energy and it's a good return on investment invest. assume all probably going with you are. my motivation is that this business is economically viable and also protect the environment. alvy long as you all know. so here's what i like most about. my job is when i finished installing a system,

i switch it on and everything works and the customer goes finally, making sure that everything goes smoothly means being conscientious and thorough. committed as she is though, says that for a number of reasons, the soonest that to is developing selected speech in ivory coast or yeah, i work with this, that last job can not find me. lots of installation stuff didn't work. one problem was that there was no political will to trained technicians in the solar system properly. so badly installed systems meant the general public had a port impression of the solar energy level. platinum are making move as i'm putting on sale when you will just fill out the 1st solar panels systems were installed in 2011 since then. ivory coast has set itself in vicious talk it by 2030 . the country wants to meet 47 percent of its energy needs, with renewable sources, including 7 percent from solar energy. to achieve this, the government has crept

a v, a p on solar equipment such as panels, batteries, inverters and cables used to be 9 percent. it's a policy that entropy, new up and at the berkeley sidewalk. welcome sherry. she hopes the next step will be the good injection. as you see, these are exactly. yep, it does take this customer back to you as a sub plus, he's already managing to be a ton of most empowering all his appliances a can. but there's a surplus that isn't being used in ajax, and we still a good injection and ivory coast. he would feed that surplus into the national grid and that he would get paid for it. and if he happens to need more energy, you'd get it from the grid. there's going to press the now is it, there is a fair respiratory. she's confident that such a measure would help boost bit sick to in the meantime, she's focusing on training that they have to down to the countries to less practical training opportunities for people in the renewable energy sector with an

institute, a 12. so see, been a deep lucky said to and other players in the sectors, support professionals who are retraining or looking to specialize. companies in the mood. why? when you have a good installation, you need a good technician and a good technician requires good training. otherwise it's disasters and people will lose faith in renewable energy. another major challenge is ensuring diversity in the field. there's only one woman attending 2 days training. this way, she's explained about opportunities in the field of solar energy and said no one is making the most of them right now. that's why i decided to come and do the training for myself. so i can do that. many people will train was going to take left, he said, while i have gone on to successful and completely unexpected korea's, did you with the com? tully is in charge of technical services and followed by plus a banking surface, author refinancing solutions for solar products. a korea,

he could never have imagined the members of this. i didn't know there was a connection between solar energy and thank you, but then it joined a company that's part of a group. there's a banking site to the operation. and this, the company itself, which specializes in everything to do with renewable energy and digital solutions. and as you can at the start of a career phonetic. lucky so do i found it difficult to get alone these days? it's much easier to get financing for solar projects. i think we told ourselves so things were moving forward personally. i really believe they would, but i was a little premature. i didn't know it was going to take more than 10 years to enter for new hopes to continue inspiring others, including had 3 sons. you're going to grab the letter and then you're going to look at the penalty and i'm going to explain something to you. got it simple. the

dell was an early adopter equipping the house with solar power to avoid locating she now has an even more efficient installation on the roof with solar panels and a solar water pump. it would defy as if it could be the 1st my sons were too small to understand, but they get it. now that the old, the even when these, the power cuts, we still have solar power or low energy needs a met. and they are proud. what are the, did i let me tell difference that when these no power was to cut energy, we don't have problem with power cuts, electricity time is all and i've had it for lender to she hooks up one of her sons one day continue her mission of promoting solar energy and after we coast education is the key to progress, and that's something we can all agree on. but in millions of africa, schools frontage us is missing,

which makes learning difficult. we go into your garden school where a new project is packing, a real surprise into school bags. this week's doing, you'll be the appreciative round of applause. but just for someone sitting on a stool, the young audience are used to sitting on the bare floor because the school the attend simply doesn't have the money for chairs and desk. they complain even parents complain about that. they. they, as the queen provides funny to like, the problem is money or is the big money deposit must have been on as our funds. and the parents know is why don't or funds parents tell on us they was calling in for other people to get the money like that. and most of them a little on but this morning,

discovery primary school under uganda and capital component. it's getting a special delivery purpose built seat packs, which each contains a little fold up stool with legs made of renewable bamboo. the cost of the school. nothing, thanks to an embryo covering the production cost. its founder arnold la garza is the qualified architect and social entrepreneur. the project is financed through both commercial bank sales and international fundraising partnerships. for every seat fuck a perhaps an activity that fundraisers for it. and we take these finances and keep the seat box at no extra charge to the child. we only require the child to pay $1.00 fee, a daily attendance, they must go to school. the stools have definitely been a pleasant surprise for the pupils. what interested me that there was,

was dix i for what does the 6 foot know i saw that you it is just for sitting down. now i saw that it is very important because some of us we've been sitting on the floor. the kids also include individual blackboards, complete, with show for writing or drawing, and that's not all. this is immune for poach with a men so proud. it is a reasonable pod for a valid child when they're on the periods. on. this is a solar panel. the solar panel hope is student to use at home when it is the same. this is how our above looks like fine, 2030 arnold my god. plans to have given these c packs to 1000000 school children. acosta for god. before they don't have to wait for a treat to be taken down,

processed into a team by turned into a desk, a table or a chair. and they simply have a very mobile bumble stool that moves our own with them wherever they are. in a sense, the classroom follows the child where the child is the classroom is the many rural areas like him is a public company, the option big african cities. this is more an exception. everyone who can afford a car drives on the results congested streets and for air quality is what's called a growing number of residents are reversing. the trend side please here in the car is definitely not for the faint hearted village. morrila is a doctor and commute to walk in the hospital every morning by d like raving for you to and broods clubs with the traffic. the i

presume that i've had several close, close been drivers or getting respect my space. an almost run me off the road, so i have to walk out this track logistical. now. i know exactly when to start changing names on what signals to make on when to check the anchor. like we travellers will cut you off and on costs, then please. it's coming challenging to stay for questions about the psyche and community in the capital of sunny goal is smooth. good, really. instead it's a way of keeping fix while also helpings environment by not driving a car. they're reducing carbon emissions because my goal is to cycle to god that way i'm doing something axes and keeping c 12 going to work with bike is

a good thing to do. unlike in rural areas, many women here in the car have never mastered the art of to we the many only dev venture outs on the bikes of the weekend when there is less traffic. the trouble is the call drivers in san diego. don't pay any attention to cyclists, it has fixed the floor respect, not even for the basie cruise tape on top of your room. and so people don't even care jo, male or female song, because sometimes you get the new shift out, especially by guys on motorcycle use. visual. don't you know and you push you around. so you really have to stand your ground according to a 2022 reports about the united nations environmental program, the more people walk oh cycle in africa than anywhere else in the world. often because they have no other option. that's what city is growing and income's rising

up in traffic is increasing. according to the un environments program, the rapids and unregulated expansion of african cities has made the continent, the deputies to cyclists sent a distance. and the goal is one of the few african countries that has at least flocked to cyclists into its transport development planned. the cause of been transferred agency, wants to establish a 175 to them. it's a network of cycle fox by the 23rd to 5, but they have already been to days in construction on the side and community has all the doubts about new sickness cycle. you just don't always recognize the bike lanes, even where there is a bi claim on file. instead of using it, we end up writing on the main road. so ideally, bike lanes would have to sign stuck clearly. sure with the another problem is that

we have to ship these lanes, which motorbike has really difficult to navigate to. menu complain that the government has yet to provide to see support for 5 communities setting goals, cities, even though it reduces pollution. but commit to psych, chase remained on the tag ends, at least during this race, organized by the senate, the recycling union, the streets of the call, been known to them. back to europe. we own those that probably and by bike or by foot is bought elvia for us as such and lead the planet. but conflict between cyclist pedestrians and cause is an issue in cities all over the world. can everyone be happy with take a look at the french capital and it's plans for 20. 25 is power is ready for traffic. revolution of so many

powers as the most beautiful city in the world. for others, it's a trucks, a nightmare. driving the icons with something parisians long took for granted. but the city is increasingly restricting it the latest measure, a traffic coming, so and then the city center kind of fun. natalia tucson is skeptical. she feels the purpose metro doesn't offer a good alternative. name is hor effect um there were no elevators in the metro set. when you have a stroller and 3 small children, you have to drive say offer some of the cell phone calls in time to doesn't to green. he does everything by bike and specifically speaking, he's following a trend. mold trips and now taken by bike and paris. somebody call new call center. we think the space given to cause must be said and rejects. some

bad behavior should be punished to the post by the drivers on site. they have never made it to one of the business. well, we really need more traffic. com spaces in public areas. but, you know, especially with the newly established zone, should also contribute to this since early november, paris, as fund 3 traffic in the city center. if you're coming by carl motorbike, you need a valid reason such as a visit to a doctor visiting restaurants and shopping. also permitted, but driving through was prohibited 7130. so now it means less air pollution, less noise and most safely to especially on the road. so on the icing on the cake is that it's more fun to visit and go shopping in the area. because like i would suggest it cool. so now the police are instructing drive, it's on the new regulations, but from made and you 25,

failure to comply will set you back 135 you raise. we meet some of those who are not happy with the cities. traffic changes will dissolve volleyball. apparently i'm in the bus lane here. i didn't even notice. uh, he told me that he is like, hey, this time soon you won't be able to drive in paris. it will have to block me, so i'm not sure if i'm not sure if i just want to drive through. it's a shame that finding it. so it's not the lead. tucson is involved in an association . so drive has rights. but what kind of i have to admit there's less traffic um, but its to, to the new city regulations can focus. however, like many others, she has had doubts on how the new traffic comes, so it will be monitored. how do you prove that you're having dinner with friends? how do you justify the fact that you didn't get the thing that you drove into the zone to buy all through the $100.00?

it then even the authorities on yet clear on how the monitoring will look in practice despite setbacks and conflicts. cyclist common taco do believe's, the city is on the right track. like i'm looking for. i know we're optimistic that paris will be a 100 percent bicycle from the city in a few years there on the right path. the transport revolution has come to the french capital. some say its way to strict while others believe it's the only way forward. and that's turned back to africa. now rising temperatures and changing rain full pattern to may many places drive than ever before. in real pots of northern gonna, many people have to spend hours each day collecting drinking water. it's a task but lodging falls to women, now impacting the lives and livelihoods for one community has found a way to better manage this precious resource, bringing multiple benefits. and whenever walter comes to the surface,

i mean no more how much scoop seeks up. slowly, king speaking, she and the other women, not enough to be seen, collect what become active as of what, that's what i'm trying to restore its capacity. it would need to be dug deep. but there's no money for that here. mag, when the dry season starts october for what to begin to supplement, we spend many odds and looking forward everything to predict someone and help us direct done. you spend less time searching for which i will probably have more time to doing work that could improve. i life this part of gunner has been hard hit by climate change. droughts has come on when the dry season finally in the readings are usually so intense that flooding and seems as the water runs of the hard, dry soil. rather than replenishing the ground water. about 4000 people leaving the

village of an a 4 beach near the border of the king of prussia. the shed, the water from 3 wheels to boil. just how much kind of be pumped else available throughout the day. and the lease a drilling more will who's with the little to alleviate the water scarcity some have even being kept because they've run dry because the water had too much fluoride, which kind of harm t send boons. and so we need to go a step further to find out how we can help them. it is secure, the water resource itself is on the for b. c. volunteer. let's see. i do cool. now, monday it says close to how much water actually available. many residents can 2 days before dorm to fetch water. by about 8 p. m. the level had dropped from 12 weeks of about 60 centimeters. i so often in the dry season. now the community has

to decide how to get through the with what you mean. are you doing this one? to help out for me? a typical when. uh there is small. what that we'd like to do for our home wake. bates, there is time. that's a, it's a roll of time that the what that we do and this is yeah, yeah. love for what that. yeah, no, get some work done. so this was, it's we, i use the need to do both at once, jasmine all the way. i like things the what the notes rich, the time we want to be using. wow, chucky rain full amounts also helps the community to become more resilient. here, another funding changed from the village tax to local farmers. about how long to ring pensions affect the ground water level. it's crucial information that will help the farmers decide which across to plants the see it when to be in for us,

we not look at, can you tell us the experience to us and then they'll also do the stuff. so when the vin force a v. yeah, the yeah, that is forcing the time we and also for you to read it to apply or so for look at the device, we select as productive. meanwhile, missy, i do quote is about to brief as people villages or waiting to hear about 2 days will deliver. and a swanson now tells them there's not much left entering. yeah, me out, one. yeah, told me, i mean that means construction work in the village has to stay on hold. they cannot afford to use the water to make concrete the group decides how to rush and the remaining little for you who can use what the marketing of what purpose in the for this coming up, which helps reduce the salt of conflicts about water, which used to be come on again, that a lot of people would take whatever the price. so my company would fall drums even

though we were supposed to take less to make it go round. it always lead to arguments. to date a paula, i am gus household has been located just a few little from the village will still the plan helps him manage your time more effectively. if the well had run dry for the day. she would have had to walk many kilometers to fetch the water she needs. but now she has time to make her that one of our spice blend, which he sells for extra income. sending all of that, how much, what terry says unable helps us know when to federal just offer. i'm going to work on our businesses here. we can lend helps. we used to work on it and still get all the work done. the people i'm a full b c, a coping with the what's the scarcity especially become digging out the dried offers of what could help. but so far it hasn't been

a political priority. that's part of why the community here feels abandoned by the government. a measuring groundwater, i went to 6 and a full bc's, what's a scarcity? but it does help the community share what it has more freely. i live more peacefully and gives them a better chance of coping with climate adversity. that's all we have for today. show has something inspired you. we love hearing from you. you can ride so as add a call at dw dot com while i'm on the sunday in stock as i'm there. and i hope to see you soon again, 5 most stories about sustainability on our continent and be on by searching for eco africa online. thanks blah blah. it's been a pleasure hosting our show together. and so it's good by for me, chris, olympics and illegal. some idea too. thanks for watching. and we hope you tune back
