A country as Somalia, access to water is estimated at 32% while populations with improved sanitation are estimated at a staggering 24%, among the lowest in the world. On the energy front, approximately 2.4 million households across Somalia lack access to power and use firewood, and charcoal with harmful consequences to people and the environment. As a starting point to facilitate access to power, sustainable off-green energy solutions would be a cost-effective alternative to setting up a national electricity grid. This leaves millions unable to access clean and sustainable energy.
ERDO focus is to facilitate access to affordable and reliable safe water and clean energy to both rural and urban communities. This will involve interventions aimed at promoting setting up energy and water infrastructure in strategic locations. Key partners will help drive interventions including political support, facilitation of needed capital and local support.
