We have brought, through EncASa Oaxaca 2018, access to the electricity basic service to 1,000 households, with third generation solar home systems, and carried out a pilot project to bring access to drinking water, appropriate sanitation and improved cook stoves to 124 households and 8 community centres. Families choose these systems within those offered in a catalogue of technologies, according to their needs, habits and other factors, such as existing infrastructure or the climate in their communities. The catalogue includes several systems of water catchment, water purification and sanitation, as well as some cook stoves with chimney.

These systems allow reducing risks to the beneficiaries' health. They also improve the water supply sources, save water and allow the reuse of grey water. This, within The Oaxaca environment of recurring drought, makes the project a tool of increasing the resilience and adaptation to climate change.

The project has been driven by the public-private partnership for development formed together with the Government of the State of Oaxaca through SINFRA –its Infrastructure and Sustainable Territory Development Secretariat–, AECID –the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation– and its Mexican counterpart AMEXCID. We all gather the institutional, managerial, technical and economic resources that are necessary to execute this action and generate a great impact.
