-The project is providing advisory services to strengthen TCG structures to integrate energy needs of refugees into local development plans; to integrate service delivery structures for refugees into the national system; to intensify the coordination of energy development stakeholders (refugee & host communities, private sector, development partners, NGOs etc.); and to develop a county energy policy. Capacity development shall be provided to TCG officials to strengthen them in assuming their role under the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF) and in steering, implementing and maintaining renewable energy solutions in the County.

 = 3. Increasing Energy Access for Households =
-Kenya’s access to electricity stands at approximately 75% with off-grid counties like Turkana having access rates as low as 20%; and even less than 5% in refugee camps and settlements. The SUN-ESDS project will promote improved access to clean, reliable and affordable electricity through market-based approaches, benefitting both refugees and host communities. Electricity supply to refugee and host communities will build self-reliance as they will be able to engage in productive uses of electricity e.g. welding, tailoring, barber shops and salons, etc. It will also contribute to security within and outside the camps and settlement.
+The ESDS project promotes improved access to clean, reliable and affordable electricity by refugees and host communities, through market-based approaches. This is achieved through technical assistance to private sector mini grid developers; collaboration with partners in promoting productive use of energy; and advisory on derisking mechanisms to attract investments.
 <div class="box box-green">
