<p>The UK Government is already playing a leading role in improving energy access
in developing countries through decentralised renewable energy. DFID has a range of
programmes which are working with developing countries to ensure renewable energy
markets work effectively as well as supporting energy businesses to grow, and providing
consumers with access to funding to buy solar goods.</p><p>DFID’s Energy Africa campaign
is one way that we are helping increase access to energy. Energy Africa aims to accelerate
the expansion of the household solar market in Africa, and is about making the market
work for the poor. It helps remove the barriers to household solar market expansion,
including policy and regulatory obstacles, and supports businesses to innovate in
energy services and technologies. DFID also supports numerous other initiatives to
increase people’s access to energy through decentralised renewable energy. For example,
the Renewable Energy and Adaptation to Climate Technologies (REACT) Challenge Fund
has supported businesses in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda to provide clean energy
for households, communities and businesses.</p><p> </p><p><strong><br> </strong></p><p>
