Abstract

Off-grid communities in Uganda rely on various renewable energy systems for lighting, cooking, and other essential services. A Bayesian hierarchical model was developed to assess the impact of off-grid community systems on safety risks in Ugandan communities. The model indicated that off-grid lighting systems reduced fire-related incidents by approximately 40% compared to traditional kerosene lamps. The Bayesian hierarchical model provided a robust method for measuring risk reduction across different socio-economic groups in Uganda’s off-grid settings. Further research should explore the scalability of this methodology and its applicability to other Ugandan communities with varying energy needs.
