Enugu Anchor Greenhouse Cluster Program

Energizing Women and Youth in Agri-Food Systems

Building local capacity, driving income growth, and expanding green energy access for 17,000 young women and youth in agriculture across Enugu State.

A Transformative Approach to Agriculture

Africa's agricultural sector employs 70% of the workforce, yet limited access to reliable electricity hampers productivity, innovation, and climate resilience—particularly for young women.

The Enugu State Anchor Greenhouse Cluster Program, part of the broader EWAS initiative, solves this by integrating green energy and modern tech into farming. By empowering young women with productive use energy (PUE) technologies, we are building a resilient, high-yield food system.

Why Enugu?

With its vibrant agricultural heartland and large rural population, Enugu presents a unique opportunity to scale energy access. We are integrating advanced greenhouse technologies to shift reliance from unpredictable climate conditions to controlled, profitable, and year-round automated farming environments.
