Resumen
Descripción
Energy poverty is a global problem:
access to energy services is crucial to meet basic household
needs, deliver and access public services, and generate
income. Less than 10 percent of Sub-Saharan (SSA) rural
households have access to electricity, with an overall
access rate below 25 percent. One of the main obstacles for
SSA electrification practitioners is the difficulty in
obtaining practical and timely knowledge on how to overcome
economic, technical, institutional, and political barriers
to electrification in their day-to-day work. Launched in
2008, the Africa Electrification Initiative (AEI) seeks to
create and sustain a living body of practical knowledge and
a network of SSA practitioners for the design, development,
and implementation of rural, peri-urban, and urban on-grid
and off-grid electrification programs. AEI supports the
network by organizing workshops and promoting online
discussions and knowledge exchanges on topics important for
its members. The workshop set out to address a number of
relevant electrification topics previously identified
through in-depth discussions and ongoing knowledge exchanges
among a growing network of SSA practitioners. The
workshop's main focus was on ground-level
implementation of different institutional approaches to
electrification, with particular focus on the experiences of
rural energy agencies/rural energy funds (REAs/REFs) across
SSA. The workshop lasted two and a half days, comprising 21
sessions, including regular session panels and discussion
clinics with a longer duration. It also featured exhibition
space for posters submitted by participating institutions,
an expo of approved lighting products from the lighting
Africa program, and an awards ceremony to recognize the best
papers submitted by SSA electrification practitioners in
response to the AEI call for papers.
