ANNUAL MONITORING REVIEW 2023

The 2023 Annual Monitoring Review marks the conclusion of SEforALL's 2021-2023 Business Plan, reporting the overachievement of cross-organizational KPIs. Key results include the mobilization of over USD 8 billion towards energy access and clean energy transitions, the facilitation of 26,669 new energy access connections, and the support of 31 countries in 2023. The report details achievements across four thematic areas: Energy Diplomacy and Advocacy, Energy Access and Closing the Gap, Energy Transitions and Climate, and the Intersection with other SDGs. Notable outcomes include the spearheading of UN Energy Compacts with USD 1.3 trillion in commitments and the deployment of the Universal Energy Facility (UEF) in five countries.

• SEforALL overachieved its cross-organizational KPIs for the 2021-2023 Business Plan cycle, including the mobilization of more than USD 8 billion towards energy access and clean energy transitions.
• In 2023, SEforALL provided active support to 31 countries, 26 of which are Official Development Assistance (ODA)-recipient countries. These 26 countries represent 53 percent of the global population without electricity access and 49 percent of the population lacking clean cooking fuels and technologies.
• The organization facilitated 26,669 new energy access connections by the end of 2023, with 21,714 connections achieved indirectly and 4,955 achieved directly.
• Through the UN Energy Compacts, SEforALL helped capture voluntary SDG7 commitments totaling USD 1.3 trillion, contributing to 129 million people gaining new or improved electricity connections and 22 million gaining enhanced clean cooking access.
• The Universal Energy Facility (UEF) raised over USD 40 million to support mini-grid and stand-alone solar systems in Benin, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, achieving over 4,900 connections and disbursing USD 5.3 million by the end of 2023.
• SEforALL developed four Energy Transition and Investment Plans (ETIPs) for Barbados, Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria. In Nigeria specifically, the Energy Transition Office (ETO) helped mobilize approximately USD 6.09 billion in investments.
• The organization's advocacy influenced the global climate agenda at COP28, resulting in seven critical changes to the global stocktake decision text and the announcement of USD 3.5 billion in financial commitments for just and equitable energy transitions.
• In the area of healthcare electrification, SEforALL supported the electrification of 935 health facilities since 2020 and powered six hospitals in Sierra Leone using solar and battery storage, benefiting over 8.5 million people.
