EnDev supports micro and small rural and peri-urban entrepreneurs, organizations and communities dedicated to productive activities, to expand their access to modern energy and technology and thereby improve their productive processes, employment conditions and generation of income.
The innovations supported by EnDev are mainly adaptive, but novel for the local context. Most of the equipment corresponds to standard machinery and equipment, available on the national market or imported.
In the case of machinery and equipment developed from scratch, EnDev Bolivia and its partners carried out interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary prototyping processes through knowledge dialogue with users.
The project received twice the National Energy Globe Award for these innovations, for primary production (agricultural irrigation micro-projects in isolated off-grid rural communities in Bolivia, energy supply in various rural communities in Bolivia), and, transformation (gas-fired peanut roaster).
