Some basic details of the visit can be found at Time magazine’s article Greening China, and after watching the video, reading the article, and visiting both One Foundation and Climate Group websites I was able to still have some questions There is no substantive information on this program available online):

1) Who are their implementation partners for this project (One Foundation is regranting institution and Climate Group is Think Tank)
2) Who do Climate Group and One Foundation have in place to manage this project?
2) What is the size/ scale of the project – I hope it goes beyond solar street lights
3) Where is the funding coming from, and what are the budgets
4) What does is the representative size of a “village” and what are the current conditions on the ground there
