by Anera
Posted in: Report
Alongside the Roadmaps for Energy Access in Displacement Settings (READS) Programme, implemented by the Global Platform for Action (GPA) Coordination Unit at the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and funded by the IKEA Foundation, Anera has recently published a report on developing sustainable energy initiatives in Lebanon.
The programme focuses on all communities which are affected by forced displacement, spanning host communities, refugees, and other groups, including camps/settlements and urban settings according to specific contexts.
This report identifies ways to increase sustainable energy resources in Lebanon in response to its high population of displaced people, indicating gaps in services, and proposing projects to increase sustainable energy access in displacement settings.
