The Nomzamo Agri Village initiative implemented a decentralized solar energy model that provided electricity to 91% of households, leading to significant financial savings, improved safety through 60 solar streetlights, and the creation of 78 temporary jobs. This energy foundation enabled further interventions in communal refrigeration for small businesses, waterless and greywater sanitation pilots, and a transition from subsistence to commercial farming, with the first cabbage harvest sold to a supermarket in late 2024. The project, supported by GreenCape's Alternative Service Delivery Unit and international partners, generated over R350,000 in local earnings for enumerators and solar technicians.

This Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by GreenCape seeks a service provider to conduct community engagement, enumeration, and mobilisation in Nomzamo Agri Village, Ermelo, Mpumalanga. The project, funded by the Royal Danish Embassy of South Africa, aims to establish a service delivery mechanism to increase access to basic energy services for marginalised communities as part of a Just Transition in the green economy.
