“…The depth of analysis on gender issues differs per MTF country study. On differentiated access, the Cambodia study for example [59] cites differences in not being connected to the grid as 9.4 % for male headed and 14.3 % for female headed households (the percentage for both groups is based on those who have submitted an application), where the authors suggest that gender-based cultural and education barriers add to the difficulties to connecting to the grid. The MTF Honduras [60] identified a gender issue related to tenancy: 18.7 % of female-headed households but only 3.1 % of male-headed households stated that the final decision to connect to the grid belongs to the landlord.…”

“…Based on the seven attributes (Table 1) that characterize access to electricity [44], households can be classified into six (6) levels, ranging from level 0, which corresponds to no access to electricity, to level 5; as summarized in Table 1. Source: [45][43]…”

More than half of the least developed countries people (LDCs) live without access to electricity and this lack of electricity is a barrier to achieving some of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this paper, we examine household access to electricity in Goma and Bukavu in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) using survey data collected from April 14 to May 17, 2022. We find that (1) Goma with MTF has a high rate of access to electricity (83.03%), compared to Bukavu where only slightly more than half (58%) of the population has access to electricity. (2) In Tier 0, which corresponds to the absence of electricity, a significant percentage of households are connected to the electricity grid. (3) In Goma, there are several companies involved in grid-connected electricity supply, while in Bukavu 97.40% of households are supplied by SNEL.

“…In Cambodia, to meet the need of the population and society, the government has established a policy to promote and encourage the development of rural electrification; all the villages will be electrified by 2020, and at least 70% of the households will be connected to the grid by 2030 [48]. However, a new study reveals that more than 95% of households have access to electricity if taken into consideration electricity supplied from batteries, SHS, and diesel generators [49].…”

The Effects of Rural Electrification on Quality of Life: A Southeast Asian Perspective

et al. 2020

Despite the general agreement about the benefits that electrification brings to well-being, few studies have concentrated on the actual effects of electrification on the diverse non-economic dimensions of quality of life (QoL). In a multi-disciplinary and cross-institutional effort, a group of natural and social scientists have studied three electrification schemes (grid extension, centralised hybrid, and solar home systems) in four rural villages in Malaysia, Cambodia, and Myanmar. Using a novel approach with scales on several QoL measures (self-reported QoL and five QoL sub-domains; psychological, physical, social, and economic well-being; occupations; and total active time), this article presents an analysis of the effects of rural electrification on human well-being. With original data surveyed in the villages through a baseline prior to electrification and an endpoint several months after, the effects were examined through suitable statistical methods. Overall, we confirmed a positive effect of electrification in self-reported QoL levels as well as psychological, physical, and social well-being. There was, however, a certain reduction recorded in economic well-being. In the sub-domains of QoL, there were no changes after electrification in satisfaction levels concerning time use, time spent alone, housing, and personal safety, but a positive effect on satisfaction levels was observed in cooking. Finally, in terms of occupation, we observed no changes in the total hours dedicated to work and no prolonged active time on usual activities in the household. The findings provide support to the hypothesis of a positive effect on general QoL from electrification, but also suggest more precisely that, for specific QoL sub-domains, the effect might not necessarily exist, or in fact, may be negative. The article concludes by discussing differences determined by cultural aspects and technological limitations in each of the systems under study.
