A fact sheet by the Alliance for Rural Electrification and Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung detailing the potential for decentralised renewable energy (DRE) to drive job creation and electrification in West Africa, specifically Senegal and Ghana.

• Decentralised renewable energy (DRE) is identified as the most cost-effective electrification method for over half of the 675 million people globally who currently lack electricity, particularly those in rural areas.
• In Senegal and Ghana, where 9.9 million people lack electricity, appropriate policies could enable DRE to create up to 40,000 direct jobs by 2030.
• In Ghana, the DRE sector's job potential by 2030 varies by scenario: a 'Business-As-Usual' scenario reaching a 10% renewable energy target would create over 15,465 jobs, while a 'Forward-Leaning-Policy' scenario with 15% renewables could create more than 23,000 direct jobs.
• Ghana's DRE sector workforce is currently composed of 66% men and 34% women, with youth representing only 7% of the total workforce.
