Abstract
The objective aims providing isolated villages in the Central Region of Cameroon with renewable energy-related services that will be supplied by a village entity (the Multi Functional Platform 2,0). The system is based on the cultivation of the energy crop Jatropha curcas, which is integrated with traditional cultures. The action aims to rely on local knowledge and engaging communities in the production of their own energy: sustainable farming activities will ensure the production of Jatropha Crude Vegetable Oil to fuel power generators.
