Catalysing Green Rural Job Creation with Decentralised Renewable Energies in West Africa
Off-Grid Europe
The Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE), in close collaboration with Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS), conducted desk research and consultations with key stakeholders and developed a study entitled “Catalysing Green Rural Job Creation with Decentralised Renewable Energies in West Africa”.
The study deep-dives into job creation enabled by DRE in Senegal and Ghana, where 9.9 million people are living without access to electricity, the majority of which live in rural areas where DRE solutions such as clean energy mini-grids and solar home systems (SHS) provide the most cost-effective electrification pathways.
