According to UNHCR, each individual in Uganda’s refugee community is estimated to consume up to 1.6 kg of firewood per day, compared with host community members who consume up to 2.1 kg per day. CEMA promotes the use of alternative energy sources such as fuel-efficient cookstoves and solar technologies, supporting reforestation and agroforestry programs, and training both refugees and host communities in sustainable land management practices
