Strives to provide comprehensive information and communication technology and sports services to empower and transform communities to become productive and self-reliant
In December 2024, partner CTEN (Community Technology Empowerment Network) took a significant step in further strengthening the collaboration of the project consortium with local communities in Bidibidi Refugee Settlement. Through its inception and end-of-year feedback meetings, CTEN set the stage for the SUNNY project, which aims to drive community-based protection, education, and livelihood improvements through enhanced and sustainable access to energy services.
The ECMSPC project targets mainly South Sudanese and Congolese refugees including the host community living in the refugee settlements of Rhino, Imvepi, Lobule and Kiryandongo refugee settlements. The targeted community sectors include general protection, SGBV, Education, Livelihood, Child protection, Leadership, WASH, Health,Shelter,environment and Legalstructures engaging women, men, children, youth, PSNs, the elderly and the marginalised.
