Description

Description: The German Development Cooperation through GIZ carries out a variety of projects that aim to improve electricity provision in rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa, including Senegal. Prior to the deployment of solar-powered mini-grid systems, RWI conducted a baseline study in two rounds of data collection, 2009 and 2011. A follow-up survey was then conducted in 2016. The survey covered both communities to be electrified and communities that did not receive access to electricity through the project.
