Description
Kigoma Region refugee camps in Tanzania are the focus of this dataset, which documents a 2019 pilot programme to reduce deforestation and SGBV risks by promoting alternative cooking energy. The programme involved UNHCR and partners DRC, GNTZ, REDESO, and CEMDO, and included comparative analysis of charcoal briquettes and LPG, briquette manufacturing, and community training on energy saving and SGBV awareness. Data was last updated on the platform in April 2026.
