Alianza Shire’s project in Dollo Ado closes with meeting in Addis Ababa

On Wednesday 6 November, a high-level meeting will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Addis Ababa to hear about the results of the Shire Alliance’s work in Dollo Ado and to discuss key issues of energy access in humanitarian action, such as the cross-cutting impacts of energy and the sustainability of energy interventions in displacement situations.

Entitled “Access to renewable energy in humanitarian contexts in ETHIOPIA: Empowering refugees and host communities through sustainable energy solutions”, the meeting will be attended by representatives of the European Union (the project’s main donor), the Spanish Ambassador to Ethiopia, Guillermo López Mac-Lellan, and Bernard Inkoom, UNHCR’s representative in the country.

There will also be representatives from various organisations involved in the project: AECID, the Ethiopian NGO Save the Environment Ethiopia (SEE), Iberdrola, Acciona.org and ITD UPM.

In order to open the debate on energy access management models in humanitarian contexts and the sustainability of energy interventions, the second part of the meeting will feature various multi-stakeholder dialogues with representatives of the Shire Alliance, local public institutions and the main humanitarian organisations or organisations specialised in energy access.
