Context & scaleAlthough most people born this century will be educated in African schools, these schools often lack basic infrastructure, such as electricity and/or lighting. In the face of a rapidly growing school-age population Africa, electrification educational facilities is not just an infrastructural challenge but also pivotal investment continent's future workforce. This study reveals stark reality: third Africa's school-aged children are nearer to without electricity, impacting quality and access. By mapping over half million across continent, research underscores transformative potential decentralized solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Not only could PV reduce travel times for millions students, it promises improvement reliable services significant reduction CO2 emissions.

Abstract Mini‐grid electrification constitutes an increasingly important solution to universal access energy, notably in off‐grid rural Africa. Rural has implications for mitigating the immigration trends of population toward urban regions. In this study, we adopted a mediation model investigate direct and indirect effects mini‐grid on urbanization process, multivariate regression is employed as robustness check. More specifically, with support project Ghana, conducted survey assess perception local about impact healthcare, education, employment, security further examined these development outcomes their willingness immigrate cities. The study's findings suggested that helped improve security, significantly affecting urbanization. Our study concluded increased electricity through mini‐grids tends reduce Ghana.

Sierra Leone is an electricity-poor country with one of the lowest electricity consumption per capita rates across sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, ambitious targets to transform and stimulate its economy in coming decades, energy demand forecasting becomes integral component successful planning. Through applying MAED-D (version 2.0.0) software, this research study aims generate Leone’s forecasts from 2023 2050. Three novel scenarios (baseline-, high-, low-demand) are developed based on socio-economic technical parameters. The baseline scenario considers current sector as business-as-usual; high-demand examines development future increased economic diversification mechanisation, low-demand more reserved development. modelled results project increase ranging 7.32 PJ 12.23 5.53 for baseline-, scenarios, respectively, by This paper provides a base set best-available data needed produce model which can be used capacity-building tool in-country planning alongside further integration into modelling pipelines.
