EnDev provides energy access to households, social institutions and small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Currently, projects are being implemented in 24 countries utilizing a broad spectrum of technologies and a variety of different project concepts and instruments. By June 2013 EnDev has facilitated access to modern energy services for more than 10 million people.
