Energy is Livelihoods Project
The overall objective of Project (SELP)
is to contribute to overall poverty reduction in selected districts of somalia.
Specifically, the Project aims at increasing access to sustainable and reliable energy services by the rural populations in somalia.
SELP is based on joint need assessments which revealed that more than 95% of Somalia’s poor population has no access to electricity and that 80% of the total energy consumption in Somalia is derived from biomass fuels. The report highlighted the need for increased access to energy and its role as a catalyst for development.
The SELP activities have been designed with key stakeholders and target groups to address the increasing need for sustainable and affordable energy sources. The Project plans to strengthen livelihood strategies of Somali people in somalia through promoting use of alternative energy options to meet growing energy needs.
As a result of installation of energy equipment, increased access to clean water, health and education services will also be achieved. This will be done by creating awareness on the effects of bad natural resource management and promoting the use of renewable energy options such as wind, solar and modern biomass. Promotion of productive use of alternative energy options in meeting communities’ needs will be encouraged.
Capacity of local structures will be enhanced to install, manage and support alternative energy options. The Project further hopes to stimulate private investment by creating a supply-demand driven market around local entrepreneurs, private investors, diaspora and public consumer’s alternative energy technologies. The project will seek to address small scale initiatives and strengthen the energy sector management and governance through involvement of state and non state actors particularly women groups who are vocal in environment management initiatives. The Project is aimed at achieving the following results:
1. Increased awareness of alternative energy options
2. Increased utilisation of alternative energy options
3. Strengthened capacity of local institutions to install, manage and promote sustainable use of alternative energy options
4. Established commercialization and marketing and dissemination strategy of alternative energy options in rural areas.
