Our team has expertise across the humanitarian energy sector, including experience in specific energy sub-sectors (such as lighting, heating, cooking, and cooling) as well as specific approaches or methods (Human centred design, behavioural design, co-design, co-creation, participatory methods). We thrive when understanding complex or wicked problems transforming these problems into targeted solutions within the socio-cultural, environmental and financial energy ecosystems.
We look to work with grassroots organisations, larger institutions, and governments looking to both develop new and existing energy strategy, policy and programs
-
Recognising that Policy Reform and Institutional Strengthening is a key element of completing SDG7, our energy team supports organisations in developing clear, concise, evidence based strategy and policy for organisations, institutions and governments.
-
The Energy Sector across the Humanitarian and International Development space must transform itself to enable equitable, transparent and just partnerships to enable the completion of SDG7. This systems change, reconceptualisation and shift in our ecosystem must be supported by academically rigorous models of work that have practical feasibility.
With significant experience in academia our energy team offers services in: Proposal Development (conceptualisation, writing & copyediting, funder identification), developing non-traditional collaborator partnerships, independent evaluations which comply with funder requirements, support in implementation of research project, recruitment of research staff, and coordination with global energy actors.
-
We supporting the conceptualisation, implementation and evaluation of energy ecosystems in the humanitarian and international development sectors. We champion themes of localisation, understanding complex socio-cultural barrier and enablers, embedding systems change, and supporting the development of local enabling environments.
Understanding complex implementation environments is critical to the success of any energy program. Whether identifying research gaps or the feasibility of existing technologies our energy team provides a proven methodology to unpicking the complex and interwoven socio-cultral, financial and environmental factors that determine success or failure.
Based on the peer reviewed Technology Implementation Model for Energy (TIME) we provide regional, country and local level landscape Reviews (around specific energy sub-sectors) using: Qualitative Interviews, large available Quantitative data sets, Geographical Analysis, Rapid and Systematic Literature Reviews, Design and Systems Thinking, Innovation Theory.
