Summary
SEforALL has transitioned to a strategic model that combines global agenda-setting with data-driven in-country implementation. Key achievements include the launch of the Universal Energy Facility for mini-grids in Sierra Leone and Madagascar, support for Nigeria's 5 million solar connections programme, and the development of 'Recover Better' guides for the Caribbean and Southeast Asia to integrate sustainable energy into COVID-19 recovery. The organization is also leading preparations for the 2021 UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy and co-chairing the Energy Transition Council for COP26.
Key insights
- SEforALL launched a new 3-Year Business Plan (2021-2023) and a corresponding Theory of Change to shift from pure advocacy to a model prioritizing "data-driven decision-making, partnerships with high-impact countries and implementation on the ground."
- In Nigeria, SEforALL is supporting the government's Economic Sustainability Plan to deploy 5 million solar connections by 2023, which aims to reduce the unelectrified deficit of 85 million Nigerians by approximately 25 million.
- The Universal Energy Facility (UEF), a results-based financing mechanism, launched its first wave on 21 October 2020, providing USD 3 million in grants to deliver over 6,900 electricity connections via mini-grid developers in Sierra Leone and Madagascar.
- To address COVID-19 recovery, SEforALL published 'Recover Better' guides for Africa, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia. Analysis indicates that moving to 90 percent clean energy by 2030 in the Caribbean could save an estimated USD 9 billion in annual fuel costs, while renewable energy investments in Southeast Asia could provide an annual additional GDP growth of USD 25 billion by 2025.
- SEforALL is playing a central role in global energy diplomacy, including co-chairing the Energy Transition Council for COP26 and leading preparations for the 2021 UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy, the first such dialogue in forty years.
- The organization secured the endorsement of the "G20 Initiative on Clean Cooking and Energy Access" during the G20 Energy Ministerial held on 27-28 September 2020.
- SEforALL is piloting a 'Clean Cooking Data for All' project in Rwanda, which involves installing 200 cooking sensors in 100 households to provide data on technology solutions that reduce indoor air pollution.
