【 摘 要 】

The action plan has the target ofincreasing the percentage of households with electricityaccess in Sub-Saharan Africa from 25 percent in 2005 to 35percent in 2015 and 47 percent by 2030. The plan noted thatthis target is feasible if countries improve their sectorpolicies and implementation capacity and concessionalfinancing doubles from US$2 billion to US$4 billionannually. The action plan emphasizes the importance ofcountry leadership in developing national energy sectorstrategies, as well as the need for harmonization, alignmentand coordination of donor support in line with theprinciples of partnership set out in the 2005 Parisdeclaration on aid effectiveness. The plan notes thatenhancement of government's oversight and regulatoryrole will be keys and it emphasizes the role of the privatesector both as a source of investment and for its technicaland managerial know-how. Improved governance and privatesector participation are both needed in bringing aboutefficiency improvements in the energy sector. The study wasdesigned to be catalytic-i.e. to identify a shortlist ofprojects with transformational potential and then, infollow-up phase, to identify the critical preparatory workneeded to move each project forward.
