Summary
SEforALL's 100 Days Report details its leadership in planning the UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy and COP26, its research on chronic underinvestment in energy finance, and its country-level support for energy access and COVID-19 vaccine distribution in Africa and South Asia.
Key insights
- SEforALL is playing a leadership role in preparing for the UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy in September 2021, specifically by developing 'Energy Compacts' to secure commitments on SDG7 targets from governments and businesses.
- Research from the Energizing Finance 2020 series reveals a significant funding gap for universal residential electrification, with only USD 16 billion in tracked commitments against an estimated annual need of USD 41 billion.
- Energy finance for clean cooking is severely underfunded; while commitments tripled from USD 48 million in 2017 to USD 131 million in 2018, this is only a small portion of the USD 4.5 billion required annually for universal access by 2030.
- The Energizing Finance research identifies a systemic lag in the disbursement of energy finance between 2013 and 2018, where disbursements of USD 32 billion fell substantially short of the USD 52 billion in commitments.
- SEforALL is implementing country-specific energy projects, including a results-based financing facility in Benin to support approximately 7,000 mini-grid electricity connections and integrated energy and vaccine distribution plans for Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
- The organization is addressing the intersection of energy and health through the Powering Healthcare programme, which includes a Solutions Catalogue of power solutions and appliances for energy-deficit countries responding to COVID-19.
- SEforALL is promoting sustainable cooling through National Cooling Action Plans (NCAP) and the #ThisIsCool campaign, providing strategy reviews for Sri Lanka and analysis for Nigeria, Pakistan, and Indonesia.
