Perspectives énergétiques des populations pauvres 2014
Abstract
The 2014 edition of the PPEO looks back at three years of analysis and innovative approaches to defining energy access and addressing energy poverty as presented in previous PPEOs, to re-emphasise the key enabling role that energy plays in lifting people out of poverty, and the logic of and necessity to focus on efforts to boost the nascent decentralized energy sector rather than allowing the already well-established and well-funded conventional, grid-focused energy sector to continue to dominate efforts to expand energy access.
Description
This edition of the PPEO series provides a timely restatement of the urgent need for the world to take a more holistic approach to development and integrating energy access. It calls for a shift from 'business as usual' to an approach which will truly leave no-one behind.
