BRIGHT’s solar lamp Repair Program: Partnering on the leading e-waste management project in the humanitarian sector
In Uganda’s Bidibidi refugee settlement, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is leading several partners in pioneering the most comprehensive electronic waste (e-waste) management project in the humanitarian sector. At the heart of this project is BRIGHT’s solar lamp Repair Program which is training technicians who are turning e-waste into opportunity through the repair and refurbishment of solar lamps. These technicians have since the launch of the E-waste Management project in 2022 repaired 6,361 solar lamps and 341 solar panels, reduced e-waste, and significantly improved their livelihoods. By embracing a circular economy, improving product design, and centering community voices, BRIGHT’s Repair Program offers a sustainable model for handling e-waste in displacement settings, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
