Technical report. Socio-economic data and energy access in households in Hilaweyn refugee camp and host communities
In the spirit of good knowledge management generated by Alianza Shire experience, we published “Socioeconomic and energy access data at household level in Hilaweyn refugee camp and host communities”, a technical report presenting findings on energy access and population profiles through surveys conducted in Hilaweyn refugee camp and host communities in 2022.
The surveys highlighted gender disparities and inequalities in energy access. Approximately 15% of household income is spent on energy services such as charging phones, using batteries, candles and powering small electronic devices such as radios.
Cooking is mainly done by women and the main fuel used is firewood. It was also found that 100% of respondents rely on non-clean fuels for cooking, highlighting the significant challenges in promoting sustainable and safe energy practices.
These findings underline the urgent need for interventions that address energy poverty, gender inequality and dependence on unsustainable fuels. In conclusion, it is also important to redouble efforts to transition to cleaner, safer and more equitable energy solutions in displacement contexts.
