Energy Sub-Saharan Africa
…energy efficiency Reliable data is essential for planning, monitoring and evaluating policies and investments in energy access, renewable energy and energy efficiency. Energy data is the bedrock of evidence-based and data-driven policymaking, and reliable data is critical for measuring progress against targets and metrics, such as SDG 7. The IEA develops and makes freely available comparable, reliable, country-level energy statistics for sub-Saharan African countries, with particular efforts made to release enhanced data for the countries participating in the programme. The IEA will ensure the data availability beyond the duration of the programme. Learn more The energy…
