| Summary: | The record of concession arrangements in
stimulating faster and more effective rural electrification
in Sub-Saharan Africa is mixed at best: More concessions
have failed than have been implemented—and among concessions
that have been implemented, none can be considered an
unequivocal success. Still, properly structured agreements
can expand electrification by connecting more households to
the national grid or to mini-grids. Lessons from case
studies shed light on the circumstances under which
concessions work best. |
