dc.description.abstract	This evaluation assesses the World Bank Group’s contributions to supporting electricity access in Sub-Saharan Africa during 2015–24. Electricity access is an end user’s ability to use an energy supply for the desired energy services. As such, electricity access includes both supply and demand factors. This evaluation follows a 2015 Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) evaluation on the same topic (World Bank 2015) but focuses on Sub-Saharan Africa because the main electricity access gaps remain in that Region, and the Bank Group has renewed efforts to close the gap by 2030. The evaluation’s objective is to assess the Bank Group’s relevance, effectiveness, and coherence in supporting client countries in Sub-Saharan Africa in scaling up electricity access. The evaluation will be conducted in the context of the Bank Group’s goal to provide 300 million people with electricity connections by 2030.	en
