Key Activities

Our partners work on a range of development interventions and advocacy, including livelihoods,WASH, energy access, climate change adaptation and resilience building, HIV/aids, education, women's empowerment, refugees and conflict prevention. In terms of our energy access work, we work on both implementing access to modern energy services for last mile communities, and low carbon energy shift and energy access policy and advocacy at national, regional and international levels. We have a particular focus on inclusion of energy poor communities in energy decision-making, and planning and delivery of energy services. With IIED we have developed an innovative participatory planning approach called the Energy Delivery Models (EDM) approach.
