Data-Driven Electrification in Africa
…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 for policy makers to plan and adjust universal electrification efforts. Therefore, to accelerate and strengthen these efforts, the IEA has published the Guidebook for Improved Electricity Access Statistics outlining a unified strategy for developing electricity access indicators.This Guidebook provides key recommendations for leveraging both supply- and demand-side data sources and covers…
