Case studies
The Energy for All partnership was formed to serve as a platform for sharing of knowledge, building capacity and promoting the exchange of ideas and information on energy access. The partnership is composed of organizations coming from the government, civil society and private sector that are genuinely interested providing access to energy for the poor.
In the span of their involvement on this initiative, these organizations have already developed a number of models which contain innovative ideas. These models illustrate various financing mechanisms, institutional arrangements, stakeholders’ coordination, and technical innovation which show the immense opportunities in meeting the challenge of providing energy access.
The Energy for All partnership secretariat has thought of compiling these projects into case studies to demonstrate the possibilities and opportunities of developing energy access projects. To highlight the best practices, each case study provides detailed discussion on the background or rationale of the project and the approach used that makes it unique compared to other efforts.
The case studies presented here serve to provide useful insights and lessons which can assist in the design and implementation of genuine activities. May these case studies motivate a number of organizations to support the cause of the partnership of uplifting the lives of the millions of people who are still living in energy poverty.
