game are clear and unambiguous, b) a contextualized organizational arrangement
is created for the delivery of the projects, c) an appropriate leadership is ensured
for task implementation, and d) local capacity is built to ensure long-term
effectiveness of the outcomes.
Our action research has demonstrated that it is possible to achieve the above conditions
using a variety of arrangements—private sector participants, community organizations,
and partnerships with local administrations. We have also found evidence of successful
operations following the top-down as well as bottom-up approaches, where state
agency driven initiatives as well as private sector, NGO, and community efforts have
delivered off-grid electricity. Achieving universal electrification by the year 2030,
however, will require learning from these and other similar examples and spreading the
knowledge widely.
