Access to Modern Energy (AME) is increasingly recognised as an area of humanitarian concern. If communities affected by crises go without proper access to energy, it becomes impossible for them to meet the basic needs of life. Responding to the need for support,DCHI and RVO have launched the second Humanitarian Accelerator Programme for Access to Modern Energy (AME) in September. Access to modern and clean energy is a precondition for social wellbeing and economic development, and is a key focus for nine humanitarian organisations.

This summit will bring together representatives from a wide range of energy industries, academia and politics in front of influential audiences. It will give humanitarian organistions access the network needed to scale.
