This document proposes a capacity building project for energy efficiency in Lahore, Pakistan. Pakistan faces energy shortages and relies heavily on expensive imported energy. The project aims to promote energy efficiency in Lahore through training programs in shopping centers, homes, and efficient appliances. It will educate households, shopkeepers, and officials on methods of efficient energy use like green houses and solar power. A local NGO will partner to implement the three-month pilot project in one Lahore neighborhood through community organizations, master trainers, and workshops to save energy costs and minimize electricity bills. The budget is 100,000 Pakistani rupees and successful replication in other areas could attract international donors.
