The project outcome will be improved capacities for delivering energy services for poverty alleviation, both in terms of technical skills and tools: an operational planning approach for rural electrification investments and therefore the provision of sustainable energy services for poverty alleviation, at Provincial and National levels. We anticipate that a more development-oriented integrated approach, involving national and local stakeholders from different sectors and demonstrating the social and economic impacts of rural electrification projects on poverty alleviation, will bring additional investments in the sector.
In the more immediate term, this will provide the necessary concrete input needed for formulation of the energy policies and legislation, which is currently being elaborated by the national Governments.
In the medium term, the regional plans will help to develop electrification projects integrated with Provincial Development Plans, from which the local population will benefit. There are several possibilities for replication and extension of the project outcomes.
- The planning software programmes will be available for each institution (EDC, EDL, MoEM, MIME, EAC) in charge of rural electrification in the participating countries and for the two private sub-contractors SV and IEG (1 Licence per Institution). It will therefore be possible for these actors to apply the planning approach to other parts of the country.
- The whole method of developing synergies with social services, public utilities and business development implemented for the 2 participating countries within the framework of CAP REDEO, could also be applied to other countries in the region: the ACE – ASEAN Center for Energy is very much involved in this theme and will be mobilised for regional dissemination activities across the region.
- Training packages for technical training and institutional capacity building of National and Provincial stakeholders in the planning process will be made available to facilitate replication.
- The GIS monitoring and follow-up tool at the national level will be available, with national capacity to maintain and up date it, as a key instrument for awareness building and cross sector mobilisation in country, as well as mobilisation of international donors.
