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/>

SUN-ESDS seeks to implement best practices for the replacement of diesel generators that power humanitarian operations, in order to allow for cost and energy savings. SUN-ESDS ensures that relevant assessments are conducted and guides the project development process for solar-hybrid and solar mini-grid systems solutions, thereby promoting more environmentally sustainable and cost-efficient energy solutions. It also develops energy delivery models that are attractive to the private sector, which according to the CRRF should play a more prominent role in displacement settings.<br/>

SUN-ESDS promotes improved access to energy, energy related services, as well as improved cooking systems for households, social services, and small businesses through market-based approaches, benefitting both refugees and host communities. This involves stimulating demand through awareness product marketing and campaigns. SUN-ESDS develops financing schemes for end customers, such as purchase by instalments, pay-as-you-go, and cash-for-work. In addition, the project promotes the supply of energy through de-risking mechanisms that encourage private sector involvement in the spirit of the CRRF. For example, through the establishment of energy kiosks in displacement settings, mobile charging services are provided, and energy-efficient products are available for purchase. The energy kiosks also function as community centers and are the starting point for awareness raising activities and trainings.<br/>

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]”.<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.<br/>

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.<br/>

ESDS Project

The Energy Solutions for Displacement Settings (SUN-ESDS) is a component of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) commissioned Global SUN Programme with UNHCR. The Global Programme supports UNHCR in facilitating the operationalisation of the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) in the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus.

The SUN-ESDS project contributes to UNHCR’s Clean Energy Challenge with the aim to support UNHCR technically and strategically on the implementation of its energy strategy 2019-2025, which aims to enable refugees, host communities and people of concern to meet their energy needs in a safe and sustainable way. The project works on innovative energy approaches and disseminates lessons learnt from measures implemented in three pilot countries.
