This knowledge note is the third of
three case studies that concerns scaling up access to
electricity in Africa, Bangladesh, and Rwanda. Rwanda s
rapid achievements in expanding access to electricity after
2009 were made possible by one of the first applications of
a sector-wide approach (SWAp) in the electricity sector. The
World Bank played a pivotal role in the operationalization
of the SWAp, first by assisting in the formulation of an
investment prospectus that laid the groundwork for
technical, financial, and implementation planning. The
Rwandan experience is instructive for countries considering
the adoption of a similar approach, particularly those
starting from a low base. Rwanda's experience with
electrification is an interesting case of how access to
electricity can be quickly scaled up despite deficits in
infrastructure and institutional capacity. In all, the SWAp
in Rwanda delivered tremendous improvements in electricity
access over a relatively short period of time. Although
challenges remain, the program is on its way to achieving
even the ambitious targets set for 2017 under the EARP II.
Rwanda s experience has showed that with government
ownership and alignment with national priorities, using
SWAps in the electricity sector is a viable and attractive
alternative to traditional project-based support. |
