		SUMMARY OF UNHCR REFUGEE SANITATION & ENERGY PROJECT

In Mar 2018 Ian MILIMO Assistant Resident Representative/Poverty Reduction from the United 
Nations Development Program [UNDP] in Zambia contacted the Sustainability Action Network 
[SAN] re assistance for 2 Refugee camps in Zambia, Myukwayukwa with 13,000 Refugees 
founded in 1966 and Meheba with 22,000 Refugees founded in 1971

A SAN project team was established to review the On-line project information on the Engineers 
Without Boarders [EWB] web-site which was working with the United Nations Commissioner of 
Human Rights [UNHCR] on the Zambia Refugee project

The EWB web-site had the 221 questions submitted by Engineering Students from 30 Australian/ 
New Zealand Universities and the answers provided by the EWB Support staff

These questions were classified into 9 Categories

		CATEGORIES							QUESTIONS

A	Climate Change & Agriculture			  			 8

B	Community & Culture							15 

C	Energy									27

D	General Discussion							75

E	Housing 								28

F	Information and Communication Technologies [ICT]			 8

G	Transport								14

H	Water, Sanitation & Hygiene [WASH]					20

I	Waste									26
	
The SAN Project Team reviewed the 221 Questions posed by the Students and noted that few 
appeared to offer solutions or assistance to the Refugees or the the Refugee Camp management

Hence the SAN Project Team identified "Sanitation" as a key project to assist with the need to 
continually dig new latrines at the Refugee camps and provide Biogas Digestion Systems to 
assist with the Sanitation issues and also provide Energy to the households of the Refugee 
Camps

In addition the SAN Project Team identified Pedal Power as an option for the Refugees to 
generate energy for their homes and recharge the mobile phones that the Refugees are given

A	Background

The UNA Special Interest Group [UASIG] was formed following 4-months email
communications with UNDP Zambia and an email dated 30 Mar 2018 to Peter AXTENS 
LLB (Retired) Official Agent Sustainability Action Network [SAN] inviting a response to a 
proposed project 

The initial Invitees to UASIG were familiar with the RUBAC On-line Committee Information 
Management [ECIM] and were provided with an email which included reference to the 
tremendous work carried out for Refugees in Zambia by The Office of the United Nations 
High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR], Engineers without Borders [EWB] and the 
Habitat for Humanity

Engineers without Borders [EWB] - Zambia has produced a great deal of very helpful 
videos, maps and documents for students who have placed questions on the EWB web-site

The Topics for On-line discussion by 1st year Engineering students at 30 Participating 
Universities that are members of EWB are:

A	Climate change						-  8 questions
B	Community and Culture					- 15 questions
C	Energy							- 27 questions
D	General Discussion					- 75 questions
E	Housing							- 28 questions
F	ICT [Information and Communications Technologies]	-  8 questions
G	Transport						- 14 questions
H	WASH [Water, Sanitation and Hygiene]			- 21 questions
I	Waste							- 26 questions

B	17:30 - 17:50 - The Plan to understand the Refugee issues in Zambia

PMA opened the meeting by welcoming attendees and explaining the background to the 
email that he had received from UNDP Zambia on 30 Mar 2018 and the need to inform and 
prepare Resources to thoroughly comply with the project required by UNDP Zambia

There was a considerable amount of information that had to be reviewed and understood
prior to responding to any project

PMA proposed the following timetable and RUBAC Cryptocurrency volunteer eCredits for 
understanding the situation of the Refugee Camps and Resettlement areas in Zambia

Meet every 2 weeks after reviewing a topic set to identify gaps in the questions and answers 
during the previous 2 weeks

3-hrs every 2 weeks should be sufficient to review the EWB Q & A sections nominated

120 RUBAC-1 Cryptocurrency Volunteer eCredits are allocated for the 3 hrs

50 RUBAC-2 Volunteer eCredits are allocated for each accepted question within 10 days

50 RUBAC-3 Volunteer eCredits are allocated for travel time and attending meetings

20 RUBAC-4 Volunteer eCredits are allocated for reviewing the 4 On-line Videos
