Training Institute– Solar PV Installation & Maintenance Trainer
1- Introduction
Human Appeal Human Appeal Pakistan is implementing an integrated livelihood and green enterprise promotion initiative to empower poor and vulnerable populations across six districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP): Peshawar, Charsadda, Nowshera, Mardan, Swabi, and Haripur. This initiative is being implemented under the UNICEF-funded project “Social & Economic Inclusion through Green Skills of Poor & Vulnerable from Hosting Communities in KP.” The project contributes to Pakistan’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aligns with the KP Green Growth Strategy, and supports UNICEF’s broader objectives for youth and women’s empowerment.
The initiative primarily targets adolescent girls, women, and marginalized community members, aiming to improve employability, income generation, and participation in the green and digital economy. Through the promotion of renewable energy–based and sustainable livelihood skills, the program strengthens economic resilience while advancing environmental sustainability.
This program contributes to Pakistan’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those focused on poverty reduction, decent work, affordable and clean energy, and climate action. As part of the initiative, Human Appeal Pakistan is delivering a three-month capacity-building training on Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Installation and Maintenance, aligned with NAVTTC/TVET Level-1 competency standards. The training is designed for non-skilled and semi-skilled community members and focuses on developing practical, market-relevant technical skills.
Participants will gain entry-level competencies in solar PV system installation, operation, and routine maintenance, along with essential knowledge of workplace safety, system efficiency, and quality standards. These competencies enable self-employment, small-scale service provision, or entry-level wage employment within the renewable energy sector.
Training is delivered through a hands-on, competency-based, and participatory methodology, with strong emphasis on practical application and quality assurance. Solar PV installation and maintenance is a high-demand, climate-resilient, and environmentally sustainable livelihood option that can be adopted at the household or small-enterprise level, allowing participants to explore sustainable income-generating opportunities.
