Mission Green Empowerment partners with in-country organizations and social enterprises to provide rural villages with access to clean water, electricity through renewable energy, and sustainable solutions. Program Focus We prioritize integrated projects that serve the greatest human need, are sustainable over time, and have the possibility of broader impact beyond any one community. 3
GE Approach: The Community-Based Model Engage community networks Identify or establish community-based organization Implement a pilot project Conduct feasibility studies Develop financing mechanisms 4

Knowledge Sharing All photos: Images from various aspects of the November 2014 Practice-to- Policy Micro-hydropower Workshop hosted by REAM and HPNET. 7
Opportunities for GE Support Work to map micro- and mini-hydro potential in each state where the technology is viable Identify and facilitate domestic and international tech transfer opportunities for eligible Shan State practitioners Facilitate discussions between REAM, SHPAM, and international actors around sustainable financing mechanisms Develop a two-year action plan for Myanmar partners including: Retrofitting an existing micro-hydro system in Shan State to improve EM efficiency, as well as the service and long-term durability Collaborating with other energy actors to develop a pilot village project in Shan State and at least one other sample location TBD Designing and implementing an integrated watershed protection program utilizing micro-hydro as a foundation 8
