Energy Solutions for Displacement Settings (ESDS) is one of four project components of the BMZ commissioned Global Programme “Support to UNHCR in the implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) in the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus” (SUN) which assists UNHCR and other stakeholders in operationalizing the GCR in selected displacement contexts. ESDS focuses on the sustainable energy sector and seeks to remedy the lack of sustainable energy supply in order to enhance the self-reliance of communities in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda.
