UNDP Sudan – Supply and Installation of Turnkey Solar PV Water Pump System for Irrigation
Agriculture is crucial in Sudan's rural areas, but limited rainwater supplies and diesel pumps are relied upon, with electricity supply often non-existent.
Agriculture is the backbone of the economy and livelihoods in Sudan's rural areas. Most
people rely on limited rainwater supplies and diesel water pumps to meet their needs. While
electricity supply is occasionally reliable, it is often non-existent. Consequently, the use of
diesel water pumps, which is very expensive, is highly subsidized.

This project aims to replace diesel water pumps with solar PV water pumps, reducing
dependency on scarce diesel fuel and promoting clean energy. By ensuring a continuous
water supply for agriculture, the project significantly benefits the local population. 198 pump
systems have been successfully installed, leading to improved agricultural productivity,
reduced fuel costs, and enhanced livelihoods for the rural communitie
Renewable energy is a symbol of a bright new future for Africa and for our planet. We aim to provide access to sustainable, high-quality energy systems and infrastructure across Sub-Saharan Africa.
