| Summary: | Kakuma as a marketplace, a 2018
consumer and market study of Kakuma refugee camp in
northwest Kenya, estimates that Kakuma camp and its hosting
community have 2,100 refugee-owned businesses and are worth
56 million dollars based on household consumption. This
study provides information for businesses in the energy
sector to help them assess opportunities for providing or
expanding energy services in the Kakuma and Kalobeyei areas;
it also provides insights to inform International Finance
Corporation (IFC) interventions. The study maps the supply
of and demand for energy for lighting, cooking, and
productive use among households and businesses in the camp
and examines the regulatory environment affecting the energy sector. |
