Informe realizado en el marco de la Smart Villages Initiative.

Electricity is a crucial part of the infrastructure needed to improve the quality of life for island communities in developing nations. This report summarises the information presented at, and conclusions arising from, the workshop on issues related to island electricity access held by the Smart Villages Initiative and Kopernik. The workshop took place on the island of Bunaken,
an hour’s boat ride from the city of Manado in North Sulawesi,Indonesia. It was part of an ongoing programme of engagement by the Smart Villages Initiative in Southeast Asia. It brought together a diverse group of 25 people working on energy access for off-grid villages in island contexts to review their experiences to date and to identify barriers to further progress and how they may be overcome. The workshop was held over three days, from 3-5 November 2015.
