Data and statistics.Energy supply is a key factor in economic and social development, but lack of modern energy in rural areas limits efforts to alleviate poverty and improve living standards. This book identifies the options for providing modern and improved renewables-based energy to low-income rural areas, with special emphasis on the productive uses. In the five countries represented - Botswana, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Zambia and Zimbabwe - the contributors focus on the advantages of a decentralized approach to energy delivery, the role of income-generating activities in attracting modern energy services to rural African energy policy research series.Renewable energy sourcesAfrica, Sub-SaharanEnergy policyAfrica, Sub-SaharanRural electrificationAfrica, Sub-SaharanRural developmentAfrica, Sub-SaharanRenewable energy sourcesEnergy policyRural electrificationRural development333.794150967Mapako M.
