This Catalogue of Local Sustainable Solutions in East Africa has been prepared as a contribution to ensure that East African communities, especially the poor and vulnerable, have a reference as to what they can do to reverse the negative trends due to climate change.
The solutions offer feasible methods of achieving improved and sustainable agriculture, food security, water-resource management, waste management, transport and upgrades of other currently unsustainable practices. It is hoped that this Catalogue will also be a valuable source of information for NGOs, governments, intergovernmental and other development agencies, as they seek to address concretely the energy poverty and associated challenges facing the rural poor and underprivileged population in this region and beyond.
The solutions presented here contribute to several UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 13 (climate action), SDG7 (clean energy), SDG1 (poverty), SDG5 (gender), SDG 6 (water), SDG 2 (hunger, food), and implementations of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and of Long-term low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) under the Paris Agreement, as well as national activities to implement SDG7 (clean energy), including the Sustainable Energy for All (Se4ALL) strategies.
