Abstract
Niger is a vast, landlocked, and mostly arid Sub-Saharan country, located in the heart of the Sahel region, with a rapidly growing population, estimated at 22.4 million (World Bank 2018a), of which the majority lives in rural areas. Despite considerable progress in the area of poverty reduction, extreme poverty remains very high, at an estimated 41.5 percent in 2019, affecting more than 9 million people in a country prone to climate risk and insecurity. The World Bank, with support from the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), has launched the Global Survey on Energy Access, using the Multi-Tier Framework (MTF) approach. The survey’s objective is to provide more nuanced data on energy access, including access to electricity and cooking solutions. The MTF approach goes beyond the traditional binary measurement of energy access, for example, ‘having or not having’ a connection to electricity, ‘using or not using’ clean fuels in cooking, to capture the multidimensional nature of energy access and the vast range of technologies and sources that can provide energy access, while accounting for the wide differences in user experience.

Publication Rwanda – Beyond Connections(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2018-07-01)A small but densely populated country, Rwanda has one of the fastest growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Rwandan government is dedicated to expanding access to electricity and aims to increase its electrification rate, first to 70 percent by 2018, and subsequently to 100 percent by 2020 – an ambitious target considering that approximately 86 percent of the country's population resides in rural areas. It's focus on expanding energy access also applies to increasing access to improved cookstoves (ICSs). Rwanda has gained support from multiple development partners to help it reach its energy access goals.

The World Bank, with support from the energy sector management assistance program (ESMAP), has launched the global survey on energy access, using the multi-tier framework (MTF) approach. The survey’s objective is to provide more nuanced data on energy access, including access to electricity and cooking solutions. The MTF approach goes beyond the traditional binary measurement of energy access to capture the multidimensional nature of energy access and the vast range of technologies and sources that can provide energy access, while accounting for the wide differences in user experience. The importance and wide-ranging impact of energy access is recognized by the United Nations under sustainable development goal 7.1, which seeks universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services. The government of STP has been committed to achieving sustainable development goal 7 to benefit its people, and has thus collaborated with the World Bank to realize the MTF survey to obtain guidance on setting targets, policies, and investment strategies for enhancing energy access.Publication Cambodia – Beyond Connections(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2018-07-01)With a population of 15.8 million, Cambodia is one of Asia’s fastest growing economies; its growth has averaged 7.6% a year over the past decade (higher than the regional average of 5.1%). Upon halving its poverty rate in 2009, Cambodia achieved Millennium Development Goal 1. Moreover, in 2015, after 20 years of steady economic growth, Cambodia secured lower-middle-income status. Despite this notable achievement, 4.5 million people in Cambodia are still considered near-poor, with the country ranking 143rd on the United Nations Development Programme’s 2016 Human Development Index. The Cambodian government is committed to expanding energy access throughout the country. With close to 79% of the Cambodian population residing in rural areas, through its surveys, the Multi-Tier Framework (MTF) team collected compelling data on energy access in urban and rural areas. Highlights of these abundant findings can be found in MTF’s comprehensive Energy Access Country Diagnostic Report, which can be accessed on MTF’s country webpage: https://energydata.info/dataset/cambodia-multi-tier-framework-mtf-survey-2018Publication Myanmar - Beyond Connections(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2019-05)The MTF survey is a global baseline survey on household access to electricity and clean cooking, which goes beyond the binary approach to look at access as a spectrum of service levels experienced by households.Publication Bangladesh - Beyond Connections(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2019-11-01)The Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) in the World Bank, in consultation with multiple development partners, has developed the Multi-Tier Framework (MTF) to measure and monitor energy access in terms of attributes and tiers. The MTF defines energy access as one that is adequate, available when needed, reliable, of good quality, affordable, legal, convenient, healthy, and safe for all required energy applications across households, productive enterprises, and community institutions. As part of the stock-taking exercise on measuring access using MTF, ESMAP has launched detailed data collection activities in seventeen countries, including Bangladesh. Findings of this report are based on nationally representative data on access to electricity and cooking solutions.
