GTH - The Geneva Technical Hub

The Geneva Technical Hub (GTH) has been established by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees  (UNHCR) and Swiss Agency for Developement and Cooperation (SDC) to improve the lives of refugees, internally displaced persons and their host communities by enhancing the quality of technical programming in energy, environment, shelter/housing, settlement planning, water, sanitation and hygiene. The EPFL, through the EssentialTech Center, contributed with its expertise, know-how and evidence-based policies to applications in the filed of environment, energy, shelter and settlement planning.
