What makes rural business in climate friendly technologies so hard to build?

Nancy Wimmer should know why. Thanks to support from Good Energies Foundation she has spent a decade in Bangladesh, a country that has built rural renewable energy businesses like no other. A few highlights of what she has learnt:

It requires dogged determination

It requires specialised financing structures

It requires obsession with quality

It requires public sector entrepreneurship

It requires the commitment to build partnerships

And if building it is hard, keeping it going is harder
