Summary:

FAO Safe Access to Fuel and Energy (SAFE) initiative addresses energy needs during emergencies and protracted crises, and builds resilient livelihoods in a sustainable manner. The work of the SAFE project in this area can have important multiplier effects – from better food security, nutrition and health, to the sustainable management of natural resources, greater resilience to climate change and natural hazards, and increased livelihood opportunities. 

FAO engages in inter-agency coordination through the SAFE Humanitarian Working Group, which seeks to facilitate a more coordinated, predictable, timely and effective response to the fuel and energy needs of crisis-affected populations. Together with other implementing partners, FAO has carried out joint assessments in Bangladesh, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Myanmar, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, the United Republic of Tanzania and Uganda.
