Leonardo.impact

8. dec. 2025

This survey-based baseline study gives insights into the work of the Solar Electric Cooking Partnership for Humanitarian Contexts (SOLCO) in Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda. SOLCO is a multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at catalysing the transition from biomass-based cooking methods to solar-powered electric cooking in displacement across the globe.

This report summarises insights from 2008 household baseline surveys conducted in Nigeria, Uganda, and Kenya in April, September, and October 2025. Data was collected from refugees, Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) as well as from host community members.

In Nigeria and Uganda enumerators from the local partner organisations GISCOR, AYAN, CECI were trained by leonardo to collect data. In Kenya, data collection was carried out independently by Faulu. All data was processed using the leonardo Impact management Platform to validate and visualise results for impact monitoring, management, and reporting. This report is a summary of the baseline study findings.


Unless otherwise stated, all charts in this report display data aggregated across all data collections. Site-level results can be explored in greater depth through leonardo's interactive dashboards. Read the full report here:
