The study examines power sector reform in six African countries - Ghana, Mali, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda - using sector-wide data. Broad trends across the case study countries suggest that the impacts of power sector reform on the poor are neither direct nor inevitable. Although the introduction of private actors may actually result in price increases and not necessarily expand access to electricity, reform also provides opportunities that would not otherwise exist to improve quality and reliability, expand networks, and re-direct public resources more transparently to the poor and rural communities. 2014-04-25T19:07:51Z 2014-04-25T19:07:51Z 2005-08 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2005/08/6280208/power-sector-reform-africa-assessing-impact-poor-people http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18067 English en_US Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP);ESM 306/05 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: ESMAP Paper Publications & Research Africa Africa
