Africa Mini-grid Developers Association (AMDA) SMART RBF Policy Recommendation

More than 600 million people in Africa, largely living in rural areas, do not have access to power.
The dominant means of providing them power is through grid connections. Due to the high costs ( – +1 for someone living >4km from the grid) to connect them, governments and donors typically subsidise main grid connections by 85-100%2 of the capex.
