Un a\u00f1o despu\u00e9s de los devastadores terremotos que azotaron Nepal, todav\u00eda existe una gran necesidad en Dhapsung, un peque\u00f1o pueblo en el terreno monta\u00f1oso de Sindhupalchok, uno de los distritos menos desarrollados del pa\u00eds. Esta comunidad remota, que se encuentra a tres horas de camino de la carretera m\u00e1s cercana, fue gravemente afectada por los terremotos de 2015, y muchos residentes a\u00fan viven en refugios temporales. Sin acceso a la electricidad, las familias de Dhapsung dependen de fuentes de energ\u00eda no renovables costosas, poco confiables y t\u00f3xicas para iluminar y cocinar.<\/p>\n

En septiembre de 2016, los voluntarios y el personal de GRID viajar\u00e1n a Dhapsung para instalar una microred solar de 16 kW en la comunidad, que proporcionar\u00e1 luz, energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica y conexi\u00f3n a Internet a todas las 40 viviendas, la escuela y los negocios locales. Este proyecto no solo impulsar\u00e1 la recuperaci\u00f3n tras el terremoto, sino que tambi\u00e9n servir\u00e1 de base para el desarrollo econ\u00f3mico a largo plazo de la comunidad.<\/p>\n

Nuestra experiencia trabajando en Nicaragua desde 2008 nos ha ense\u00f1ado que las asociaciones comunitarias son fundamentales para proyectos de \u00e9xito. GRID colabor\u00f3 con Instituto Digo Bikas<\/a>, una organizaci\u00f3n local de investigaci\u00f3n y promoci\u00f3n con ra\u00edces profundas en la regi\u00f3n, para seleccionar a la comunidad y involucrar a los residentes en el proyecto desde el principio. Digo Bikas, que significa \u201cdesarrollo sostenible\u201d en nepal\u00ed, promueve la sostenibilidad ecol\u00f3gica y la equidad social tanto a nivel pol\u00edtico como comunitario. Juntos, aplicaremos un enfoque de desarrollo sostenible para satisfacer las necesidades energ\u00e9ticas a largo plazo de la comunidad Dhapsung.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tuvimos el privilegio de entrevistar a Sunil Acharya y Abhishek Shrestha, dos de los cofundadores de la organizaci\u00f3n. Sigue leyendo para conocer su visi\u00f3n sobre el desarrollo de las comunidades rurales y para ver por qu\u00e9 nos complace poder asociarnos con ellos en este proyecto:<\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo y por qu\u00e9 se fund\u00f3 el Instituto Digo Bikas?
<\/strong>En noviembre de 2014, un grupo de amigos que trabajaban en diferentes sectores en Nepal y algunos de nuestros amigos que hab\u00edan regresado de estudios en Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido pensaron que hab\u00eda necesidad de una organizaci\u00f3n con un enfoque alternativo en el paradigma de desarrollo de Nepal.<\/p>\n

Aqu\u00ed en Nepal, el discurso rural sobre el sector del desarrollo es que necesitamos desarrollarnos a toda costa. Este es el tipo de paradigma de desarrollo que el mundo occidental adopt\u00f3 desde el inicio de la Revoluci\u00f3n Industrial. Este modelo de desarrollo ya no funcionar\u00e1 en un mundo con limitaciones clim\u00e1ticas. Es necesario una alternativa real: un modelo de desarrollo basado en la participaci\u00f3n de las comunidades que respete las consideraciones ambientales y ecol\u00f3gicas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00bfCu\u00e1les son los problemas que existen en Nepal y que Digo Bikas est\u00e1 trabajando para solucionarlos?<\/strong><\/p>\n

La red nacional ha cubierto alrededor del 45% de la poblaci\u00f3n total. Sin embargo, incluso las zonas urbanas enfrentan apagones de hasta 12 horas al d\u00eda. Aunque tenemos un gran potencial para el desarrollo de la energ\u00eda hidroel\u00e9ctrica, no hemos podido producir la cantidad requerida. Ahora incluso este sector est\u00e1 enfrentando dificultades debido a los cambios en los patrones de precipitaci\u00f3n debido al cambio clim\u00e1tico.<\/p>\n

Nepal necesita una buena combinaci\u00f3n de fuentes de energ\u00eda renovable, y la energ\u00eda solar juega un papel muy importante. Creemos que las comunidades necesitan energ\u00eda para usos productivos, no solo para la iluminaci\u00f3n o los servicios b\u00e1sicos, sino para el desarrollo de microempresas para que sus medios de vida puedan mejorarse. Debemos centrar nuestra atenci\u00f3n en la localizaci\u00f3n de la econom\u00eda, para que los pueblos sean cada vez m\u00e1s autosuficientes y tengan acceso a la energ\u00eda.<\/p>\n


\u00bfC\u00f3mo lleg\u00f3 a conocer la aldea de Dhapsung? \u00bfCu\u00e1l es su enfoque para trabajar con la comunidad?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cuando est\u00e1bamos en la fase de estrategia y desarrollo, ocurri\u00f3 el gran terremoto, por lo que nos enfocamos en apoyar a las comunidades proporcionando todo lo que pod\u00edamos. Hab\u00eda muchas organizaciones que apoyaban a trav\u00e9s de alimentos y refugios, pero muy pocas estaban trabajando en proporcionar acceso a la electricidad a corto plazo, as\u00ed que pensamos que esta era nuestra \u00e1rea de especializaci\u00f3n. Nos propusimos apoyar a las comunidades con servicios de respaldo de energ\u00eda solar para que no quedaran en la oscuridad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despu\u00e9s de unos meses, seguimos pensando en qu\u00e9 m\u00e1s pod\u00edamos hacer para apoyar a las comunidades afectadas por el terremoto y nos topamos con Dhapsung, un pueblo muy aislado. La situaci\u00f3n en Dhapsung es que todav\u00eda utilizan querosene, lo cual es malo para el clima y que tienen que comprar desde el centro de la ciudad, a muchas horas de distancia. Un litro de querosene cuesta alrededor de $1, y apenas ganan $1 por d\u00eda. <\/p>\n

Fuimos all\u00ed para instalar un peque\u00f1o sistema solar con bater\u00eda de respaldo, pero solo pod\u00eda generar electricidad durante 4 horas por la noche o por la ma\u00f1ana. Por eso ahora estamos trabajando con GRID para mejorar ese sistema y proporcionar a los aldeanos suficiente electricidad para que puedan trabajar de manera productiva.<\/p>\n

Hemos interactuado con los miembros de la comunidad de Dhapsung en persona en muchas ocasiones, por lo que hemos aprendido cu\u00e1les son las necesidades de la comunidad. Les hemos preguntado qu\u00e9 har\u00e1n una vez que tengan energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica; est\u00e1n realmente pensando en ello. Lo que est\u00e1 sucediendo en pueblos como Dhapsung es que han empezado a comprar televisores, lo cual es un medio muy bueno para acceder a la informaci\u00f3n. Algunas tiendas ya est\u00e1n utilizando refrigeraci\u00f3n, por lo que pueden vender alimentos y otros productos perecederos. Conoc\u00ed a una persona de otra comunidad que estaba muy contenta con un negocio de molino de granos hecho posible gracias al uso de energ\u00eda solar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nuestro enfoque de trabajo consiste en apoyar directamente a las comunidades y utilizar la evidencia de las propias comunidades para impulsar cambios a nivel pol\u00edtico. Si podemos llevar a cabo proyectos para ampliar este modelo de microred, ser\u00e1 un sistema muy eficaz para apoyar a las comunidades rurales.<\/p>\n

*****
El Power Up Nepal<\/a> Este proyecto piloto aprovecha la experiencia de GRID en energ\u00eda solar y desarrollo sostenible internacional para instalar una microred solar de 16 kW en Dhapsung, Nepal. El proyecto abastecer\u00e1 a empresas locales, la escuela y todas las 40 viviendas de la comunidad, adem\u00e1s de crear empleos para las mujeres y apoyar el emprendimiento local. El proyecto servir\u00e1 de modelo para proyectos exitosos de microred que puedan replicarse en otras comunidades para satisfacer las necesidades energ\u00e9ticas a largo plazo de las zonas rurales de Nepal.<\/em><\/p>\n
