• Description:
• BackgroundUNICEF Guyana Country Office is committee d to scaling up sustainable energy integration in priority programme areas (e.g., Health, and related WASH interventions) with the goal of promoting positive social benefits for children and young people. Positive correlations between electricityaccess and health outcomes have been demonstrated during routine maternal, new-born and child health services and emergencies. The interruption and availability of electricity is a bottleneck in using life-saving equipment especially for new-borns and children which has resulted in many preventabledeaths. Similarly, during the COVID-19 pandemic, electricity in health facilities is critical to treat patients and operate vital, lifesaving medical devices to manage cases. Health facilities with un-interrupted, stable, and suitable electricity supply are resilient and have continuity in deliveringhealth services. Besides enabling a proper cold chain and improving diagnostic and curative services, the availability of reliable electricity leads to a better administration of the health facilities. Access to reliable electricity in health facilities is therefore an important enabler of qualityhealth, and related WASH services and is necessary to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in energy, health, and WASH. Some of the solutions to increase energy access in health facilities include connecting to decentralized solutions such as mini-grids or stand-alone solar Photovoltaics(...
