General Background of Project or Assignment:
Pakistan is a country that has its very own, distinct set of challenges; however, it has ensured access to basic services for refugees. UNHCR has done its utmost over the years to channel resources towards such systems. In order to help ensure the inclusion of refugees in basic services including water, infrastructure, education, livelihoods, health, and social protection through the Refugee Affected and Hosting Areas (RAHA) Program.
However, efforts to address energy needs are sorely lacking. The long-standing presence of refugees has inevitably created competition over natural resources. As most refugees rely on firewood to meet their energy needs, tensions with local communities, who are often equally disadvantaged, have undermined the trust between them. Gaining access to energy often poses risks to their security, safety, and well-being. In Pakistan, limited resources make it difficult to adequately address the need for safe, reliable, and clean energy. In fact, most refugee villages are not connected to the national power grid and are dependent on traditional biomass.
In line with the Global Strategy for Sustainable Energy, which for market-based energy interventions that are anchored in efforts to empower refugees to meet their energy needs, UNHCR has decided to implement a series of energy interventions from January 2022 to December 2023 to ensure that refugees and host communities will have access to clean and affordable energy sources.
