STORYLINE
In Mozambique’s Nampula province, UNHCR has partnered with the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the government to provide electricity to refugees and displaced people living at the Maratane refugee settlement, under the Energy for All project.
Charlotte Fatuma and Neema Cenga are refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) living in Mozambique. Charlotte is a successful businesswoman, running a small shop in Maratane refugee settlement, and Neema a mother trying to raise and educate her children.
SOUNDBITE (English) Charlotte Fatuma, Congolese Refugee:
“When I sell, I sell I have 1,000, I buy electricity for 1,000 and I keep it because when I not selling much, I get stressed, because the problem is electricity finish.”
SOUNDBITE (English) Charlotte Fatuma, Congolese Refugee:
“When you don’t put on electricity, everything is dark. The customers can’t enter here to buy. When you don’t have electricity.”
A similar programme supported by the World Bank (WB) also runs at the Corrane IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) site.
SOUNDBITE (English) Irene Omondi, United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR):
“Corrane IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) site is a good example of where you see a fusion of humanitarian work and development work coming together. This site has the benefit of being part of the electrification, as you can see, where the houses are connected to electricity.”
Both women benefit from access to electricity from a UNHCR partnership with the World Bank, the African Development Bank and the Government of Mozambique to provide electricity to displaced people living in camps.
SOUNDBITE (Swahili) Neema Cenga, Mozambican Internally Displaced Person:
“I was in the house when the first winds hit. I took refuge at my neighbours. They gave me a place to stay with my children.”

“I am happy about the electricity because I don’t need to buy kerosene anymore. It helps me a lot. My children are happy because the young ones used to be afraid of the night, because it was dark.”
Access to electricity allows displaced people to improve their lives. Children can study in the evening. Businesses like Charlotte’s shop in Maratane thrive.
Displaced residents can also charge their electronic devices like mobile phones which help them stay in contact with family and friends.
The electricity project has several components and contributes to the government’s ambition to provide every Mozambican, as well as refugees and displaced people in Nampula province with electricity by 2030.

The province has defined as a priority, when we benefit the internally displaced, we also look at the host communities. These kinds of actions are taking place with more impact.”
The province hosts 9,300 refugees in Maratane settlement, and internally displaced persons who fled attacks in the neighbouring Cabo Delgado Province, including 7,200 displaced people in Corrane site, a two-hour drive away from Nampula.

“When my daughter wants to do homework, she needs electricity. The light is there to do the homework nicely.”
Mozambique is one of the least developed countries in the world and ranks 180th out of 189 countries on the 2019 Human Development Index.
By 1 December 2022, over one million people remained internally displaced due to violence perpetrated by non-state armed groups mainly in the country’s Cabo Delgado province and as a result of the devastating impact of climate change and disasters such as cyclones, tropical storms and floods. In addition to IDPs, the country hosts some 29,000 refugees.
