Regional Overview
There are more than 500,000 refugees and asylum seekers registered in Kenya with approximately 40% located in Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement in Turkana County [1]. Despite having about 75% of Kenyan households having access to electricity, counties like Turkana still have electricity access rates as low as 10% with almost the half of interviewed refugees being connected to solar PV systems while 30% are connected to mini-grid electricity. Improving access to sustainable energy for households and social institutions via market-based approaches will first require addressing end-user finance barriers, opportunities to enhance market development of energy products and services within the displacement contexts, and the incorporation of development and humanitarian organizations to remedy market failures.
