Energy focus
The energy sectors may play significant role in poverty alleviation and development:
» Energy contributes to improving people’s lives
» Energy contributes to the development of economic activities
»Energy contributes to the efficiency of economic management
Energy focus
However, the African energy sectors hardly play such a role; they are characterized by:
»too heavy reliance on traditional energy sources (biomass), related to inadequate supply of modern energy
» underutilization of potential sources of energy
» mismanagement of resources that are utilized
