Project goal to reduce the level of accidents involving pedestrians by lighting of pedestrian crossings and approaches using equipment powered by solar batteries. Project tasks: 1. To establish improved safety system for pedestrians using alternative energy sources in s. Kolodischi Minsk district; 2. Compile and disseminate experience of the problem solving using alternative energy sources at rural communities . Expected results Road accidents involving pedestrians in s. Kolodischi decreased at least by 25% due to the autonomous and energy-independent system; At least two energy-saving innovations introduced (solar panels and LED lamps); CO2 emissions prevented in amount of 1, 500 kg/year to compare with the use of traditional sources of energy About 2,000 members of the Cooperative have improved the social, economic and environmental conditions of life; Interaction between Cooperative and local authorities in solving local problems is enhanced.
