− | ENERGYCoP is a global, not-for-profit community of practice launched in 2017. Its purpose is to facilitate information sharing and collaboration among a diverse network of stakeholders who are engaged in providing safe access to fuel and energy (SAFE) to crisis-affected people, such as refugees, internally displaced people (IDPs), and those affected by natural disaster. Here, every individual and organization working on issues related to energy access and energy technologies in humanitarian settings can access resources, connect with partners, and contribute to ongoing discussions on various topics. Connecting all actors interested in this sector enhances the efficiency and efficacy of fuel and energy initiatives that improve the lives and livelihoods of displaced people worldwide.<br/> | + | [http://energycop.safefuelandenergy.org ENERGYCoP] is a global, not-for-profit community of practice launched in 2017.
