ACTIVITY INFORMATION
What we are doing

According to the latest statistics around 40% of Benin’s total population has access to electricity, with deep disparities between urban and rural areas. While around 65% of Benin’s urban population has access to electricity, only around 18% of its rural population did as of 20191. Those that are connected to the grid also face poor quality of service, including power cuts and voltage fluctuations. As such, rural electrification has been a policy priority for the Beninese Ministry of Energy. The government has set a target of 65% rural electrification by 2025. Given Benin’s low population density and the low purchasing power of its rural population especially, electrification through grid expansion can be challenging.

What we are achieving

In collaboration with project partners, ICLEI will develop a Public Private Partnership (PPP) Toolkit and capacity building modules that will assist local beneficiaries to better unlock potential for knowledge transfer - such as modern technology transfer, effective management, and technical skills. The tailored training, building on local needs and capacities, offered for public sector beneficiaries, as well as the developed toolkit, will ensure that even beyond the end of the proposed project, they will be better informed and equipped to create and effectively participate in PPPs. The potential return on investment from the revenue enabled through carbon credits will also provide compelling arguments for investors, and can further boost developing bankable projects using PPPs. Moreover, the improved understanding of these benefits, conditions and structuring of PPPs, is expected to incentivize the private sector to invest in innovations that increase sustainability of energy access projects financed using this model in Benin.
