To achieve this, DFID aims to develop Energy Africa Compacts with up to 14 African countries (Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe) to address the policy and regulatory barriers inhibiting solar market expansion.</p><p>Energy Africa compact implementation will be supported by new and existing DFID energy access programmes, each with their own funding streams and bespoke monitoring mechanisms. We anticipate these DFID programmes will support the off-grid sector to provide energy access to at least 4.7 million people. Implementation of Energy Africa Compacts will also be complemented by funding, support and expertise from other donors and partners.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 19/10/2016 14:40:13 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm
