Renewable energy projects have been implemented in Ugandan villages to reduce reliance on traditional firewood for cooking and heating, contributing to environmental sustainability. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys (n=150) and semi-structured interviews (n=20), conducted between January and March . Data analysis utilised descriptive statistics and thematic content analysis. The adoption rate of renewable energy technologies in the studied villages was found to be 60%, with significant reductions in firewood use observed, particularly among households that received direct support from project partners (75%). While initial uptake was moderate, sustained engagement and additional support are needed to enhance long-term sustainability. Continuous monitoring of technology performance and community feedback is recommended, alongside targeted interventions for less-engaged groups.
