SEforALL 2021 Annual Monitoring Review

The 2021 Annual Monitoring Review details SEforALL's efforts to accelerate universal energy access and a just energy transition. Key achievements include the coordination of the UN High-level Dialogue on Energy (HLDE), which articulated over USD 600 billion in finance through more than 200 Energy Compacts. The organization provided targeted support to 27 countries, with significant focus on Nigeria, Rwanda, and Sierra Leone. While the COVID-19 pandemic delayed some deliverables and funding for certain programmes, SEforALL reported progress in electrifying 265 healthcare facilities and leveraging USD 216.9 million for sustainable cooling. The report also highlights the 'Women at the Forefront' initiative, which provided technical training to 100 women in Kenya.

• SEforALL played a central role in the UN High-level Dialogue on Energy (HLDE) in September 2021, which resulted in more than USD 600 billion in finance and investment commitments across over 200 Energy Compacts.
• The organization supported 27 countries in 2021, 23 of which are Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipient countries that collectively house nearly half of the global population without electricity and half of those without clean cooking fuels.
• In Nigeria, SEforALL developed an Energy Transition Plan targeting net-zero emissions by 2060 and an interactive Integrated Energy Planning (IEP) tool covering electrification, clean cooking, and productive use of electricity.
• The Universal Energy Facility (UEF) raised USD 8.55 million for its first wave, targeting approximately 14,000 electricity connections in Madagascar and Sierra Leone by the end of 2022, and launched in Benin to support 7,000 connections.
• The Powering Healthcare programme indirectly supported the electrification of 265 healthcare facilities across Kenya, Nigeria, the Philippines, and Uganda.
• The Sustainable Cooling for All programme leveraged approximately USD 216.9 million in finance and supported the publication of National Cooling Action Plans (NCAPs) for Ghana and Cambodia in 2021.
• The 'Women at the Forefront' programme sponsored 100 women for a two-month technical training in solar and energy management in Kenya and supported 45 women from 18 countries in leading clean cooking solutions.
• COVID-19 pandemic impacts led to the postponement of the SEforALL Forum to May 2022 and caused delays in UEF regulatory approvals and the implementation of National Cooling Action Plans.
