Abstract

Just 35 per cent of the African population have access to electricity, with rural access rates at less than one-third of urban communities. Not only could decentralised renewable energy technologies help in meeting energy demand in rural areas in a climate-friendly manner, and promoting innovations in the agri-food sector, they are also an important potential driver of local job creation and the formalisation of labour – provided that the skills gaps hindering the sector’s growth can be closed.
