Abstract
This learning product draws upon
existing IEG evaluations, project documents and analytical
work relating to the World Bank Group’s (WBG’s) experience
with supporting efforts towards the rapid scale up of
off-grid electrification (pico-solar products, individual
solar home systems, and micro and mini-grids), in client
countries. The focus is on experiences geared towards
efficiently and effectively integrating off-grid
electrification scale-up efforts with grid rollout – within
a national roadmap for achieving universal access in a given
time-frame. Relevant findings and lessons are framed as
strategic considerations to inform the design, development
and implementation of country engagements tailored to the
prevailing sector conditions and readiness; through capacity
building, technical assistance, and investment lending.
