Turkana County and GIZ Collaborate on Sustainable Energy Access Project
Turkana County has partnered with GIZ to enhance energy access for refugees and host communities through the SISI-RH project. This initiative, funded by Germany's BMZ, aims to improve socio-economic self-reliance and clean energy adoption.

The Turkana County Department of Energy and Petroleum is collaborating with GIZ to implement the SISI-RH project, which focuses on improving energy access for refugees and local communities. The project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), aims to enhance socio-economic inclusion by strengthening government capacity and providing sustainable energy solutions.
Turkana has made strides in solar energy for public institutions but faces challenges in promoting clean cooking methods and scaling energy access. Limited resources have hindered the full implementation of the county's energy policy, necessitating investment in wind power and public-private partnerships. The county's reliance on traditional fuels presents health risks, indicating the need for targeted clean energy interventions.
