Project Overview – SNV EnDev Project
The SNV EnDev Phase III project titled “Accelerating Access to Energy Services” is a market development initiative being implemented in Kenya as part of projects supported by the EnDev Programme. The new implementation phase began here in Kenya in October 2019.
The overall objective of the SNV EnDev phase III project is to contribute to the Kenya’s SE4All initiative whose goal is to achieve 100% universal access to modern energy services by 2030 for both cooking and electricity. The project therefore includes two major components, namely ‘EnDev Core’’ and “EnDev Refugees” and will intervene in three major areas, specifically the supply side, demand side and the enabling environment.
The Market Based Energy Access (MBEA) II project focuses on market-based approaches to energy access within the refugee setting in Kakuma refugee camp as well as the host community. MBEA II promotes supply, distribution and use of clean cooking and solar powered solutions through a mix of market based and social approaches. The market-based approach is anchored with distributors of the targeted products in the refugee set-up and includes technical assistance and activity based financial facilitation. The social based approach includes partnerships with relevant agencies operating in the refugee camp in order to promote co-financing for solutions targeting social institutions.
In order to enhance the effectiveness and achievement of results, the specific interventions and technologies promoted under the project are customized to the refugee setting. The MBEA II project consists of 3 subcomponents for which target specific technologies and groups in Kakuma refugee camp and the host community. The subcomponents are:
· Promotion of solar and stoves for use by households
· Promotion of stoves and solar for productive use in business settings
· Promotion of stoves and for social institutions in the refugee set-up
In addition to MBEA II project, SNV is also implementing the ‘Piloting EPCs in Kalobeyei’ (PEPCK) project, which is funded by RVO under the EnDev Innovation Window. The project pilots the use of Electric Pressure Cookers (EPCs) with 100 refugee and host community households and SMEs connected to the solar mini grids in Kalobeyei. The project activities are focused on product distribution, data collection & analysis and learning & knowledge dissemination. All activities are implemented in close collaboration with project partners.
