The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) in Jerusalem and the Government of Japan agreed on Thursday to join efforts in a project entitled “Reconstructing and strengthening the electricity supply system in Gaza with renewable energy”.
It aims at supporting the installation of a solar photovoltaic system for Gazan households, thanks to Japan’s supplementary funding.
