        Data-Driven Electrification in Africa

        …Improving electricity access data in sub-Saharan Africa In an effort to drive more informed, focused and impactful policy programs, the IEA has worked to refine and improve electricity access data by providing more robust, standardised and comprehensive data collection guidelines. The IEA has been monitoring global energy statistics and tracking global electricity access data since 2000. Currently, we estimate 600 million people in Africa lack reliable electricity access. Although steady progress has been made to reduce this number, the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2022 energy crisis reversed this trend. Timely and comprehensive indicators of electricity access are crucial…
