Description

SES helps Ethiopian cities to solve problems related to housing poor urban communities by supporting these communities rather than evicting them from their informal settlements. The project introduces a holistic approach in Ethiopian HEI’s existing academic programs for future urban developers and energy managers and educates responsible personnel at local authorities. It aims at improving poor residents’ security in housing and their access to energy needs ranging from sustainable energy systems to the management of energy efficiency.
