Implications for improved energy access and reliability in Africa

Access to energy is an important issue for economic growth, development, and well-being of the population for both urban and rural areas. It is worth saying that energy has been considered among the sustainable developments goals of United Nations.

Discussions between governments from developed countries have concluded that if energy access is satisfied for the population, it is highly probable that poverty levels may decrease from one side, and education level will increase from the other, resulting in decent work conditions and economic growth.

Developing countries have different challenges concerning energy accessibility that must fulfill minimum living requirements such as: cooking, lighting, household temperature comfort, sanitation, healthcare, etc.
You are requested to search literature to find case studies in Africa of:
1.National Governmental strategy/initiative/program for improving energy access and reliability (review of policy and regulatory mechanisms and financing tools). Please analyze this strategy. Identify the initiator & the beneficiary? Describe the strategy/initiative? How it was implemented? Was it a successful? Why it was successful (or why not)? How did it impact the society/rural community? Can the strategy/initiative/program be easily transferred and implemented elsewhere?

2.Strategy/initiative/program for improving energy access and reliability by international bodies (UN, IEA, WB Group, ADB, CAF, IDB, AFDB, WEC etc). Please analyze this strategy. Identify the initiator & the beneficiary? Describe the strategy/initiative? How it was implemented? Was it a successful? Why it was successful (or why not)? How did it impact the society/rural community? Can the strategy/initiative/program be easily transferred and implemented elsewhere?
