Regional Strategy on Scaling Up Access to Modern Energy Services

The EAC Regional Strategy on Scaling-Up Access to Modern Energy Services aims to increase access to modern energy services by adopting High Impact, Low Cost scalable approaches. It addresses four key targets that are key to poverty reduction and sustainable development in line with the 7th UN Sustainable Development Goal. The four targets include:

1. Access to modern cooking practices for 50% of traditional biomass users;
2. Access to reliable electricity for all urban and peri-urban poor;
3. Access to modern energy services for all schools, clinics, hospitals and community centres; and
4. Access to mechanical power within the community for all productive services.
