Abstract
According to the World Bank Group, East African countries have fragile food systems and low agricultural production. Djibouti is among the most undernourished countries in Africa and is severely affected by freshwater scarcity. Households regularly face climatic shocks and high electricity costs. This literature review characterizes Djibouti’s food systems and food security situation, identifies and analyzes renewable energy technologies implemented to improve food security in the local context, and presents renewable technologies as sustainable solutions to food insecurity. The results show that rural households are more likely to be food insecure and that the Djiboutian government promotes sustainable energy solutions. Project implementation increasingly integrates photovoltaic technology to improve access to electricity and drinking water in rural areas. The findings indicate that by incorporating sustainable solutions into food security projects, Djibouti can enhance its resilience to climatic and economic challenges and promote sustainable and inclusive development. However, data gaps hinder project implementation, and without quality data the country cannot fully address livelihood issues.
