RSS 1.0Welcome to Practical Action's library of resources
We are an international development organisation putting ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world.
We help people find solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems. Challenges made worse by catastrophic climate change and persistent gender inequality. We work with communities to develop ingenious, lasting and locally owned solutions for agriculture, water and waste management, climate resilience and clean energy. And we share what works with others, so answers that start small can grow big.
We’re a global change-making group. The group consists of a UK registered charity with community projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America, an independent development publishing company and a technical consulting service. We combine these specialisms to multiply our impact and help shape a world that works better for everyone.

Market Mechanisms to Enable Energy Access for the Hardest to Reach in ZambiaSince the main study, we have used the econometric model to produce a series of follow-up briefs estimating the potential impact of a select group of business models and external interventions in Nepal, Rwanda and Zambia. The briefs explore mechanisms’ ability to increase access to basic electricity (Tier 1 Solar Home Systems) and improved and clean cooking solutions for the hardest to reach. They look at the total population, people living in extreme poverty and particular sub-groups for each country: female-headed households in Nepal, displaced people in Rwanda and those practicing subsistence farming in Zambia.

Manual operativo del Sistema de Monitoreo, Reporte y Verificación local del Consejo Indígena del Pueblo TacanaEste manual tiene como propósito presentar los indicadores y herramientas necesarios para la implementación del Sistemas Locales de Monitoreo, Reporte y Verificación (MRV) en el TCO Tacana I, desarrollado en el contexto del proyecto liderado por Practical Action para UK-PACT. Su implementación está orientada a empoderar a las comunidades indígenas al facilitar su acceso a mercados más atractivos y asegurar sus medios de vida. A través del MRV local, se pretende no solo medir los beneficios ambientales, sino también generar evidencia concreta sobre los impactos positivos de la agroforestería y el manejo integral de bosques en estas comunidades, lo que será clave para atraer recursos de financiamiento climático.
