| Summary: | Too often, electrification programs
do not fully exploit the degree to which access to
electricity can improve livelihoods. This live wire
documents the lessons learned from the World Bank-funded
Indonesia Rural Electrification projects in the 1990s. The
projects used marketing conducted by nongovernmental
organizations to increase energy sales, investment in
equipment, and productive uses of electricity by rural
residents. The projects were innovative in their emphasis on
productive use as an explicit goal of rural electrification
efforts and in their use of non-government organizations
(NGOs) to achieve results that benefited both the utility
and rural residents. |
