| Summary: | This paper develops a number of
approaches to power sector planning that respond to the
uncertainties that Afghanistan faces. It aims to provide an
alternative to the “predict then act” approach to planning,
which will allow more robust decision making. The paper is
divided into two parts: the main text provides an overview
of the challenges faced in Afghanistan, analyses some of the
key decision problems and future development options and
makes recommendations on how they may be tackled. The
annexes contain more detailed case studies of individual
problems and introduces methodological approaches by which
they can be addressed. |
