| This webinar will highlight the importance of mini-grids for community electrification and productive uses, focusing on the different ownership/business models as well as the challenges/opportunities for mini-grid applications in conflict affected contexts. SEforALL will set the scene, followed by three case studies from Yemen, Gaza and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). UNDP Yemen will showcase an innovative community owned mini-grid project, followed by experiences from Nuru on commercial implementation of a 1.3 MW system in Goma, DRC. ICRC will close, with insights and possibilities for mini-grid implementation in Gaza. | | This webinar will highlight the importance of mini-grids for community electrification and productive uses, focusing on the different ownership/business models as well as the challenges/opportunities for mini-grid applications in conflict affected contexts.

Today, over 130 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance due to conflict, natural disasters, and other complex global challenges. For many of these people, access to energy sources is critical for survival, and how they access it impacts their health, livelihoods, safety, and well-being.
Energy access for displaced people is not prioritized in the global humanitarian system. Current energy practices in situations of displacement are often inefficient, polluting, unsafe for users, and harmful to the surrounding environment. Moreover, institutional humanitarian operations such as water pumping, community lighting, and health clinics rely heavily on unsustainable fossil fuels, costing hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Given the complex nature of humanitarian response and the challenges of integrating sustainable energy solutions into the humanitarian program cycle, there is not just one solution but a need for systemic actions to mobilise resources, build capacity and use the opportunity for sustainable energy solutions to enhance impact in sectors such as health, protection, food security, and WASH. read more
