The Challenge.
To enable the forcibly displaced and other marginalised groups to be the protagonists of their own stories and shape their own energy futures.
Our Solution.
90% of the 110 million forcibly displaced people on our planet do not have access to modern, reliable, and sustainable energy systems and services in their current living environment, often relying on diesel-powered generators for occasional energy access. In addition, forcibly displaced people are left out of key decision-making processes that determine their own energy futures. Outsight International and the EnAccess Foundation recognise this challenge and look to deconstruct the systemic barriers to transformative program design, implementation, and evaluation through their practitioner-facing Open Source Humanitarian Energy Co-Design Toolbox.
This toolbox collects, collates, and categorises co-design theory and practice across the humanitarian project cycle (the Data Layer) - making it accessible to practitioners through a highly curated database with graphic format (the Presentation Layer) including case studies and training materials (the Training Pack). From decolonisation and localisation to data collection and analysis methods to many more, this toolbox represents the state of the art in Transformative Humanitarian Practice.
