Background |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
For years prior to the introduction of UNDP’s Community Security and Stabilization Programme (C2SP)/Humanitarian Development Peace Nexus Project (HDPN), communities in states bordering South Sudan have been at risk of being destabilized and or being drawn into violent conflicts due to numerous threats facing these communities, unless something was done to stabilize these communities. C2SP/HDPN intend to contribute to the stability and resilience of affected communities including unemployed youth who lives in these communities. C2SP/HDPN aim to achieve this by: (i) Strengthening the resilience of community through provision of diversified and sustainable livelihoods primarily focusing on unemployed youth with conflict carrying capacity’; (ii) Provision of economic infrastructure and facility in targeted communities to stimulate local economic development (iii) Enhancing social cohesion and peaceful co-existence between displaced populations and host communities through strengthening conflict management capacities of local community institutions such as community management committees (CMCs) (iv) Promote renewable energy use among project beneficiaries at household and community level in line with climate change mitigation. Since its commencement in 2015, the C2SP programme has been implemented in 42 communities in South Kordofan, West Kordofan, North Kordofan, White Nile, Khartoum, and Blue Nile States respectively. Communities supported by C2SP/HDPN host lot of displaced population, most of whom rely greatly on firewood and charcoal for preparing meal for the family. Reliance on firewood collection and charcoal production has to a large extent contributed to environmental degradation, and thus contributing to climate change issues. Support to renewable energy use among project beneficiaries is a major component of C2SP/HDPN projects. However, much success has not be achieved to the level required by UNDP, especially renewable energy use in household cooking. Against this background, UNDP would like to hire an international consultant to produce and introduce to communities, efficient cooking stoves with 100% reliance on solar energy to be piloted in few communities in C2SP/HDPN project areas. Outcome of the pilot project will inform further programming decision in regard to scale up/expansion of the project.
