The Clean Energy Solutions Center supported government stakeholders from multiple countries throughout Africa through virtual trainings to the members of the African Association for Rural Electrification (CLUB-ER). A total of four webinar trainings were held—two in French and two in English. Each webinar featured a Solutions Center expert who presented on one of the following topics:

• Planning for energy access
• Quality standards in rural electrification
• Rural electrification policy and strategies
• Forecasting electricity demand in rural Africa

The webinar trainings were also recorded and made available to members for reference.

Impact of Assistance

Solutions Center assistance to CLUB-ER will help build capacity among its members, many of whom work in government energy-related ministries. The capacity building will support them in successfully implementing rural energy and energy access policies.
