| Description : |
Lighting Africa, a joint IFC and World Bank program, seeks to accelerate the development of commercial off-grid lighting markets in Sub-Saharan Africa as part of the World Bank Group's wider efforts to improve access to energy. Lighting Africa is mobilizing the private sector to build sustainable markets that provide affordable, modern off-grid lighting to communities across Africa that are not on the electricity grid. In support of the activities financed by the Electricity Sector Support Project in Burkina Faso, Lighting Africa carried out a number of upstream analytical studies that will collectively inform the selection and design of market development and Lighting Africa-approved product deployment activities. The overall objective of the assignment was to map out primary and secondary school locations in Burkina Faso and to develop a school database, with schools classified based on various criteria, to inform the targeting of schools for the deployment of solar lanterns in Burkina Faso. The database provides information on both primary and secondary schools in Burkina Faso, and display qualitative and quantitative data that will help refine the targeting strategy for the distribution of solar lanterns in public schools. |
