How do you access electricity in your district?
BACKGROUND
Only 5% of the rural population in Uganda
has access to electricity. According to the Uganda Rural
Electrification Strategic Plan (2013-2022), the government aims to
increase this to 22%. This limited access to electricity especially
in the rural areas hinders the national ambitions to transform Uganda
from a low income country to a middle income one by 2040 because it
reduces the growth of industries which provides employment and
increases the country’s revenue base.
Uganda designed the
Rural Electrification Strategic Plan to achieve universal
electrification by the year 2040. It is also desired that by 2030,
all rural Ugandan homes will have replaced kerosene lighting with
electricity. This is in line with the United Nation's initiative on
modern energy access for all which obligates all governments to
ensure the availability of clean and affordable modern energy in all
homes by 2030. This includes using cleaner, more efficient
technologies for cooking and lighting in households. For this,
electricity must be accessible to all.
