Humanitarian Action and Recovery after Crisis programme (HARC)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
DRC is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, driven by conflict, poor governance, a predatory political system, and low state capacity. Civilians, particularly women and children, are often targeted by armed actors. It is a protracted crisis. FCDO and partners in DRC have a role in shifting the trajectory. To do this the UK needs a holistic approach to address new humanitarian needs, support recovery and household ability to cope with shocks and help survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) recover. BEK will focus our programme on the east of DRC with flexibility to respond to new crises that may develop elsewhere in the country.
Rural Electrification in Sierra Leone
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
“To increase access to clean energy through the creation of environmentally and economically sustainable electric mini-grid systems for small remote rural communities in Sierra Leone by 2020. This is expected to directly benefit around 360,000 people in rural Sierra Leone, and indirectly help up to 1.8 million people access low carbon electricity. This will add more than 10 Mega Watts (MW) to the country’s power generation capacity of an estimated average peak demand requirement of 300-500 MW. There will be a welfare increase in rural communities in terms of saved fuel costs, improved health and education outcomes, improved communications and access to information and health and safety. The project will also result in a significant reduction in Sierra Leone’s future Green House Gas emissions through supported private investment in the installation and operation of renewably-powered mini-grids’”.
