[[file:PVPanelCampUganda.jpg|250px|right|link=]]'''Energy Solutions for Displacement Settings '''(ESDS) is one of three project components of the BMZ commissioned Global Programme “<span lang="EN-GB">Support to UNHCR in the implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees in the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus</span>” (SUN)<sup>[[#About_the_Global_Programme_SUN|1]]</sup>, which envisions to work together with UNHCR for '''self-reliant communities''' in migration and displacement settings.<br/>

[https://www.unhcr.org/energy.html UNHCR]: ''"'''Access to safe and sustainable energy is a basic human&nbsp;need. Without it, the forcibly displaced – particularly women and children –&nbsp;may be at increased risk&nbsp;and have less time to rebuild their lives."'''''

Energy is a vital part of survival, of basic human-dignity and more over it is key to achieving self-reliance. Hence, SUN-ESDS seeks to improve access to safe and sustainable energy in refugee hosting areas through global advisory services and the implementation of technical measures in selected displacement settings in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda.<br/>

<h5>1. About the Global Programme SUN</h5> The BMZ commisioned Global Programme "'''Support in the Implementation of the UN Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework'''” (SUN), implemented by GIZ, seeks to support UNHCR in its role as facilitator of the implementation of the [https://www.unhcr.org/the-global-compact-on-refugees.html Global Compact on Refugees] (GCR) and the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF) in selected refugee contexts and sectors. The Global Programme is part of the German Special Initiative “[https://www.bmz.de/en/issues/Sonderinitiative-Fluchtursachen-bekaempfen-Fluechtlinge-reintegrieren/deutsche_politik/index.html Tackling the Root Causes of Displacement, (Re-)integrating Refugees]”.<span class="mw-customtoggle-SPIS30" style="color: blue; font-size: small; font-weight: bold; float: right; display: inline-block;"><span class="mw-customtoggletext">read more</span></span><br/>

The Global Programme also aims to operationalise the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus. The HDP Nexus envisions actors working in humanitarian, development and peace realms to work more cohesively together, capitalizing on their respective comparative advantages following the recommendations of the [https://www.agendaforhumanity.org/summit 2016 World Humanitarian Summit (WHS)] and in line with the 2030 Agenda. Under the [https://www.agendaforhumanity.org/initiatives/5358 “New Way of Working”] agreed at the WHS, the various actors are expected to work towards “collective outcomes” that reduce risk and vulnerability and serve as instalments towards the achievement of the SDGs.

The Global Programme consists of 3 components that include implementing activities with UNHCR in 7 countries, accompanied by organisational capacity development. The aim is the consolidation, analysis and sharing of lessons learned from implementation experiences in order to better implement the HDP Nexus. This is key in generating knowledge on ‘what works under which conditions’ and contributes to public, organisational and mutual learning between the two partners GIZ and UNHCR. The cooperation can result in better informed and coordinated programming and implementation of the GCR, CRRF and HDP Nexus.

*Component 1: Implementation of the HDP Nexus in selected displacement settings (in Niger, Mexico,)
*Component 2: Implementation of the HDP Nexus in the sector of sustainable energy ('''Energy Solutions for Displacement Settings''' in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda)
*Component 3: Strengthening UNHCR's capacities and governmental structures in Uganda and Rwanda to foster implementation of the GCR and cooperation within the HDP Ne
