A two-part mechanism was designed to develop a coordinated global response to the multi-sectoral challenge of household energy in humanitarian settings:

1) An Inter-Agency Standing Committee Task Force on Safe Access to Firewood and alternative Energy in Humanitarian Settings (IASC Task Force SAFE)

2) the International Network on Household Energy in Humanitarian Settings.

This Network was established by the Women’s Refugee Commission in June 2007, and formally endorsed by IASC Task Force SAFE in December 2007.
