SamenvattingThe present report reflects the results of a case study on a solar drying enterprise USISS in Mali. The company has been supported in the framework of the African Rural Energy Enterprise Development-initiative (AREED), a partnership of UNEP, E+Co (Energy Investment Service) and five country partners, offering sustainable energy entrepreneurs in the five countries, including Mali, a combination of enterprise development and start-up loans. In the report evidence is presented on whether and if so, how the USISS solar drying business contributed to poverty alleviation. To this end a detailed assessment of socio-economic and environmental costs and benefits is made, taking into account the life-cycle of the dried products. The report also reflects the results of a market study, identifying existing as well as potential new local, regional and/or international markets for sun dried mango and meat and barriers to these markets.
