Project summary

Building on the successes of the Enabling African Cities for Transformative Energy Access (ENACT) Programme, the ENACT Uganda Scale-up project (ENACTUS) supports the creation of an enabling environment for the private sector to work with local governments in improving access to clean cooking for the urban poor living and working in informal settlements within the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area and wider Uganda. The project is fostering public-private cooperation and, through catalytic funding to private energy service providers, enabling the testing and implementation of sustainable models for improved delivery of clean cooking services to households, microenterprises, and institutions living and operating in urban informal settlements.

Project aims

The ENACTUS project works with the participating urban authorities to:

  1. Build capacity at all levels of governments on energy access in informal settlements.
  2. Catalyse the private sector’s involvement in testing and implementing sustainable models for improved delivery of clean cooking interventions
  3. Address finance barriers experienced by consumers, the private sector, and the public sector in enabling scaled clean cooking access
  4. Disseminate knowledge to share lessons for scaling up and replicating interventions in urban areas across sub-Saharan Africa.

The ENACTUS project builds on the strides made by the the ENACT project which was implemented in urban informal settlements in Freetown (Sierra Leone) and Kampala (Uganda) from 2020 to 2024.
