Project 1 – Community-Centric Energy: Small Hydroelectric Power Generators for Sustainability of Indigenous and Farming Communities
To mitigate the risk of dam failure, the project will employ smart risk-informed decision-making technology, considering the impacts of climate change. By ensuring continuous income generation, the project will sustain local livelihoods. Community-Based Resilience Analysis (CoBRA) will be conducted to enhance community resilience, and there will be an assessment of potential circular economy value-added creation from hydro dams for local farmers.
Using the Malaysia Energy Literacy Program (MELP), the project will apply design thinking principles to assess the disaster resilience of community dams. This will include developing a living-farm model for vegetable farms to promote Edu-tourism in Cameron Highlands, transforming local agricultural activities into agro-Edu tourism. A sustainable Edu-tourism package will be prepared for the farming community, and an English module for Edu-tourism will be provided to empower the Orang Asli and villagers to become tour guides.
