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
