SEforALL partnered with the ICTP to provide technical training on geospatial data management and application to energy planners from nine African countries. The program aimed to address a capacity gap in government planning units to better inform electrification and clean cooking strategies. Participants from Madagascar, Malawi, and Rwanda are currently applying these skills to develop national data governance and clean cooking plans.

• Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) identified that geospatial data and analytics are underutilized by local utilities and government planning units due to a lack of capacity in techniques and best-in-class tools. To address this, SEforALL partnered with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) for the Joint Summer School on Modelling Tools for Sustainable Development in Trieste, Italy, in July 2023.
• SEforALL co-created and delivered two specific trainings aimed at improving electrification and clean cooking access planning. These focused on the application of geospatial data to identify the least-cost technology to deploy and priority geographic areas, as well as geospatial data governance, curation, management, and collection.
• The training program involved 17 participants supported by SEforALL from Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Nigeria, and Rwanda, including seven women as part of a Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) initiative. In total, the 2023 Energy Access Track had 47 participants from 19 countries.
• Participants applied their training to national planning efforts: a participant from Madagascar is working with the Energy Planning Unit to formalize a data management and governance plan; the Ministry of Energy in Malawi is building a data governance plan; and participants from Rwanda are using clean cooking access modelling to support the National Integrated Clean Cooking Plan.
• The training utilized the open-source tool OnStove, developed by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, to create geospatial clean cooking access models. SEforALL co-created the training with KTH and Kartoza, and collaborated with the World Bank, World Resources Institute, Climate Compatible Growth, and the International Energy Agency.
