Summary: This study is a joint effort by the World Health Organization (WHO), aimed at improving quality, safety and accessibility of health services in support of universal health coverage, and The World Bank in furtherance of the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP)-funded activity on Defining and Measuring Access to Energy for Socio-Economic Development. The WHO inputs are drawn from two years of comprehensive review of energy use in the health sector as part of the Health in the Green Economy series, for which the preliminary findings were published in 2011, and the full report is to be published in 2015. The study also draws upon the framework for measuring energy access developed by the World Bank in consultation with partner agencies to track progress under the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative.

Summary: The central question this report seeks to answer is: What kind of delivery models contribute to the sustainability of solar PV systems in off-grid, public health, and education facilities? The report addresses this question by evaluating several past, on- going, and emerging efforts to deliver off-grid solar PV power to schools and health facilities in emerging economies using an analytic Framework for Sustainability. This framework was applied to seven case studies to generate practical and actionable “Key Insights”, representing critical learnings that can impact sustainability. By examining decisions and outcomes through a sustainability lens, the report aims to help decision makers design public facility electrification projects with maximum long-term impact.

Summary: Recent improvements in the distribution of vaccines and other cold chain-dependent supplies, as well as the global push to deliver antiretroviral drugs and services to HIV-positive patients worldwide, have introduced new demands for electricity in sites with little or no access to reliable electrical power. Powering Health is a resource for health professionals seeking to electrify health facilities that currently lack power or to ensure uninterrupted power for facilities that are connected to an unreliable power grid. Information is provided to help the user weigh the pros and cons of various energy systems with a focus on appropriate solutions and special considerations for off-grid rural hospitals and health centers.

|
Summary: The Health Sector Development Plan (HSDP) 2015/16 - 2019/20 is the second in a series of six 5-year plans aimed at achieving Uganda Vision 2040 of a healthy and productive population that contributes to socio- economic growth and national development. The goal of this Plan is to accelerate movement towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) with essential health and related services needed for promotion of a healthy and productive life. The Plan prioritizes investment in seven health systems areas: health governance and partnerships; service delivery systems; health information; health financing; health products and technologies; health workforce and health infrastructure, including energy services. The plan calls for ensuring that all health facilities have access to affordable energy, promoting the use of alternative sources of energy, e.g. solar energy and other renewable energy technologies, and educating health institutions on energy savings through the application of energy efficiency technologies.

Summary: This guide is designed to be used with USAID’s Audit Reporting Worksheets as an overall off- grid energy information package for energy experts and procurement officers managing the design, procurement, and after-sales service of PV systems in health centers. This guide presents a methodology for conducting comprehensive energy audits in off-grid health facilities, so that the audit information can be used in the design, procurement, and maintenance of an effective energy system. The guide outlines a procedure for auditing and specifying systems using one or more of the following off-grid configurations:

Summary: This report summarizes the findings of an energy needs assessment conducted for 100 healthcare facilities in Uganda. It is one of a series of assessments commissioned by the United Nations Foundation (UN Foundation), with financial support from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to evaluate the electrification status and power needs of un-electrified and under-electrified health facilities in Africa and to provide recommendations – including proposed energy system designs – for addressing those needs. The assessment was undertaken under the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) initiative and more specifically under an effort, led by the UN Foundation, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UN Women, to enable universal energy access in health facilities by 2030.

|
Summary: This Need Assessment Report presents an overview of the energy situation at Kigambo Health Center and provides recommendations on the best way to meet the center’s critical energy loads, particularly those requiring electricity. The assessment takes a demand-led approach to evaluating potential power solutions, recognizing that energy is a means to improved health services, not an end in itself. The assessment attempts to capture the full suite of power-dependent health services at the center, while prioritizing those services and issues most relevant to women and children. This is in recognition that women and children generally bear the brunt of inadequate primary health care services, especially in resource-constrained environments.
