SEforALL Strategic Plan for 20242026

SEforALL's 2024–2026 Strategic Plan focuses on achieving SDG7 and the Paris Agreement goals by operating at the nexus of energy, climate, and development. The strategy is built on three pillars: global advocacy to drive political and financial commitments, the development of scalable solutions and platforms to address systemic bottlenecks, and tailored in-country support to build national capacity. Cross-cutting priorities include clean cooking, gender and youth empowerment, and data intelligence. The organization estimates a total budgetary need of approximately USD 132 million over the three-year period, with annual resource needs growing by 20% to over USD 48 million.

• The global community is currently failing to meet Sustainable Development Goal 7 and the Paris Agreement targets. The UNFCCC estimates the world is on track for approximately 2.7°C of warming by the end of the century, while the WMO indicates a likelihood that temperatures will temporarily exceed the 1.5°C threshold within the next 2-3 years.
• Addressing energy poverty is linked to significant economic and social gains, including a potential USD 5 trillion addition to the economies of low-income countries. However, meeting the 2,000TWh of new annual generation required to alleviate global energy poverty using coal would increase global carbon emissions from electricity generation by 20% yearly.
• A 'Just and Equitable Energy Transition' is hindered by several systemic challenges: insufficient international political will in access-deficit countries, inadequate national planning, limited scale of clean energy technologies, and a lack of capital mobilization. Specifically, clean energy investments in low- and middle-income countries must triple to approximately USD 2.5 trillion by 2030 to meet demand and net-zero targets.
• SEforALL's strategy is organized into three mutually reinforcing pillars: Global Advocacy to drive financial and political commitments (including through UN-Energy and Energy Compacts); Scalable Solutions and Platforms to address regional bottlenecks (such as the Africa Carbon Markets Initiative and the Renewable Energy Manufacturing Initiative); and Tailored Country Support to provide specific tools like Energy Transition and Investment Plans (ETIPs) and Energy Transition Offices.
• The organization identifies Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, East Asia, and Small Island Developing States as regions where constraints in capacity, data, expertise, and financing are especially pronounced, necessitating tailored support.
• SEforALL's financial requirements for the 2024–2026 period total approximately USD 132 million. Annual resource needs are projected to increase by 20%, rising from approximately USD 40 million to over USD 48 million.
