Refugee Energy Access and Socio-Economic Profiles (REASEP) for Sub-Saharan Africa

The field data collection process took place in 2022 and involved conducting structured, in-person interviews with a total of 1412 individuals and 1322 respondents residing in six protracted refugee settlements across three Sub-Saharan African countries: Zambia, Malawi, and Uganda. It focuses on two categories of respondents: Households and Micro-Businesses, excluding responses related to public loads. The dataset includes a range of information for each respondent, encompassing their demographic characteristics (such as age, gender, and duration of stay in the settlement), details on their access to energy resources and appliances, economic data (including monthly expenses and income), and their preferences and motivations related to electricity access. This dataset support the electricity access and willingness to pay for reliable electricity among refugees living in settlements in protracted situations in Sub-Saharan Africa.
