Sustainable Energy for All (SE4A) Project
XSIGHTS carried out a baseline study for the SE4A initiative in Turkey and reported the findings to Global Compact, Accenture and the Turkish Industry and Business Association (TUSIAD). The SE4A Project focused on motivating industry leaders to invest in sustainable energy solutions, such as solar panels and wind turbines. XSIGHTS identified the sustainable energy actions and investments of the leading Turkish companies in 19 different sectors and compared them with companies in the UK and the USA. The report on sustainable energy opportunities for businesses was widely shared with industry leaders.
The Promise of Cardamom/Evaluation of Value Chain Project
Cardamon is a major cash crop in Eastern Nepal. The Mercy Corps Paanchthar Premium Cardamom Project aimed at increasing farmers’ capacity for bookkeeping, negotiating and communicating with the end clients. XSIGHTS designed and implemented a participatory impact evaluation of the project. This involved carrying out focus group discussions with beneficiaries and in-depth interviews with stakeholders in one of the most remote regions of Nepal. XSIGHTS produced a short documentary on the Cardamom Trade in Eastern Nepal, entitled “The Promise of Cardamom”. The 15-minute documentary adopted an impartial view of the stakeholders and proved to be a strong advocacy tool for MercyCorps’ agriculture projects worldwide. Please click here for more information.
