This study assesses renewable energy use in water services in East Africa and implications for adaptation to climate change impacts. The case studies demonstrate to some extent, that windpumps and treadle pumps increase resilience to climate change, increase incomes of small scale farmers, and promote crop diversification, thus increasing food security. However, lack of clear-cut policies to support the dissemination of renewable energy technologies for water services is a major barrier to the scale up of these low-cost pumps. Dedicated institutions with the specific responsibility of promoting small-scale renewables for the water sector could overcome siloed institutional barriers
