Reviews

“Voices in the Dark offers a powerful exploration into the complexities of energy access within refugee settings. The author adeptly navigates the evident disconnect between refugee needs and humanitarian provisions to capture the structural challenges that require urgent attention, positioning it as an invaluable contribution to the field.” • Alison Halford, Coventry University

Description

Humanitarianism is in crisis: refugee numbers increase every year and humanitarian agencies are struggling to meet the needs of displaced people. In refugee camps all over the world, refugees are forced to secure their own access to energy and are provided with limited cooking resources and minimal electricity. Voices in the Dark draws upon a decade of original research to provide evidence on the energy lives of refugees. Focusing on refugee camps in Rwanda and Kenya, the book identifies that urgent change is required within humanitarian responses to forced migration and the climate crisis to ensure that future energy provision in displacement settings is sustainable, reliable and affordable for refugees.

Sarah Rosenberg-Jansen is Research Associate at the University of Oxford, where she is a member of the Refugee Studies Centre and Linacre College. She is an independent consultant and a senior advisor on humanitarian energy and climate issues. Sarah is a Co-Founder of the Global Platform for Action for Sustainable Energy in Displacement Situations (the GPA).
