Background;-

Save the Environment Ethiopia (SEE) is a non-governmental non-profit organization operating in Ethiopia in the fields of environmental protection, alternative energy provision and livelihood enhancement. SEE is currently UNHCR implementing partner for energy implementations. SEE is operating in five operational refugee camps found in two Woreda administrations, Bokolmayo and Dollo Ado. SEE has so far achieved remarkable achievement in implementing various energy projects including Solar Grids and fuel-efficient technologies in Dollo-Ado refugee operation.

Project overview;-

The SWP Project is concerned on replacing of the diesel engines of the existing irrigation schemes by solar powered pumping system; the operational capacity of the schemes in concern is predetermined to the design capacity of the schemes as determined in the original feasibility study of the diesel powered water pumping irrigation schemes. Likewise, the existing irrigation canals and different facilities of the irrigation schemes will not be changed. Hence, the major change is replacement of the diesel-powered pumping system by solar energy source system.

Project location;-

Dollo Ado refugee camps are located at the South Eastern part of Ethiopia in the Somali Regional State, between Bokolmayo and Dollo Ado woreda. Dollo Ado itself is a small town in south-east Ethiopia, bordering north-east Kenya and north-west of South Somalia. It is located nearly 1000 km away from Ethiopia‘s capital city, Addis Ababa. The Dollo Ado refugee camps host approximately 213,786 refugees spread across five Camps and the cost community population amount of 198,742 individuals.
