Supply Chain • Manufacturer • Shipper • Clearing Agent • Local Partner • Distributor
Here’s What We’ve Learned • There is no single solution to providing electricity to the 1.3 billion people who lack access to it. • The right local partner is essential to gain trust and confidence of consumers. By nature, partners vary by location. • Proper training and follow-up maintenance is essential. • Be prepared to offer more than one solar lantern project. • Bottom of the pyramid consumer may be able to afford more than you think for a lantern and cell phone charger. • Because of the above characteristics, each Global BrightLight program is unique. Global BrightLight has developed a process that does apply to each location.
