The BMZ commisioned Global Programme '''''"Support to UNHCR in the implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees in the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus”'''''(SUN), implemented by GIZ, seeks to support UNHCR in its role as facilitator of the implementation of the [https://www.unhcr.org/the-global-compact-on-refugees.html Global Compact on Refugees] (GCR) and the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF) in selected refugee contexts and sectors. The Global Programme is part of the German Special Initiative [https://www.bmz.de/en/issues/Sonderinitiative-Fluchtursachen-bekaempfen-Fluechtlinge-reintegrieren/deutsche_politik/index.html Tackling the Root Causes of Displacement, (Re-)integrating Refugees]

=== Improving the Policy Framework ===

The Global Programme also aims to operationalise the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus. The HDP Nexus envisions actors working in humanitarian, development and peace realms to work more cohesively together, capitalizing on their respective comparative advantages following the recommendations of the [https://www.agendaforhumanity.org/summit 2016 World Humanitarian Summit (WHS)] and in line with the 2030 Agenda. Under the [https://www.agendaforhumanity.org/initiatives/5358 “New Way of Working”] agreed at the WHS, the various actors are expected to work towards “collective outcomes” that reduce risk and vulnerability and serve as instalments towards the achievement of the SDGs.
 
  
The Global Programme consists of 4 components that include implementing activities with UNHCR in 8 countries, accompanied by organisational capacity development. The aim is the consolidation, analysis and sharing of lessons learned from implementation experiences in order to better implement the HDP Nexus. This is key in generating knowledge on ‘what works under which conditions’ and contributes to public, organisational and mutual learning between the two partners GIZ and UNHCR. The cooperation can result in better informed and coordinated programming and implementation of the GCR, CRRF and HDP Nexus.

ESDS is the German contribution to the [https://www.unhcr.org/clean-energy-challenge.html Clean Energy Challenge] issued by UNHCR in 2019 with the following objective:
 
  
'''''“All refugee settlements and nearby host communities will have access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy by 2030.”​'''''
+
The project teams of ESDS work towards these objectives in selected regions in the three partner countries Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda in collaboration with UNHCR and local and national authorities. ESDS has teams in each country which implement activities on the ground and are supported by the Global-team based in Germany that coordinates all measures and aligns them to each other. As the [https://unhcr.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=1f2c23f25e5d416ebf7c1c0bc8c749ce Clean Energy Challenge Baseline Data Visualization] shows, the given conditions regarding access to sustainable energy for refugees and host communities differ in the three project-countries, translating itself into context-specific activities whose scope vary for the countries. The three intervention areas constitute however the overall and common framework.

ESDS Project

Icon pillars.png

Improving the Policy Framework

We work together with policy makers to create the necessary framework conditions to implement the GCR and ensure sustainable energy access for refugees and host communities at a national, regional and district level.


Icon Solar.png

Greening Social Infrastructure

We advise UNHCR to solarize its infrastructure via market-based approaches and implement energy efficiency measures to reduce its diesel consumption.


Icon Market.png

Increasing Market-based Energy Access

We promote markets for sustainable energy products and services for refugee and host communities in collaboration with UNHCR and private sector actors.


The project teams of ESDS work towards these objectives in selected regions in the three partner countries Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda in collaboration with UNHCR and local and national authorities. ESDS has teams in each country which implement activities on the ground and are supported by the Global-team based in Germany that coordinates all measures and aligns them to each other. As the Clean Energy Challenge Baseline Data Visualization shows, the given conditions regarding access to sustainable energy for refugees and host communities differ in the three project-countries, translating itself into context-specific activities whose scope vary for the countries. The three intervention areas constitute however the overall and common framework.
