[1] Energizing Finance: Understanding the Landscape (2020); Published by the Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Initiative, Andromeda Tower 15th Floor, Donau City Strasse 6, 1220 Vienna, Austria
|
Summary: The Energizing Finance: Understanding the Landscape report, developed by Sustainable Energy for All in partnership with Climate Policy Initiative and produced annually since 2017, provides a comprehensive analysis of commitments flowing to the two key areas of energy access: electrification and clean cooking. This fourth edition of the report tracks finance for electricity and clean cooking committed in 2018 to 20 Sub-Saharan African and Asian countries — known as the high-impact countries (HICs) — that together are home to more than 80 percent of people globally without energy access. This report tracks the energy access financing landscape of 2018, and reviews how development finance has been influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: This report identifies the gaps between commitments and disbursements of development finance for energy,3 as tracked in the OECD Creditor Reporting System (CRS) database. This database consists of official development finance and private development finance from philanthropies. It assesses the efficiency of disbursement, both in terms of the percentage of financial commitments that suffer disbursement delays, and the number of projects that experience delayed implementation. Through a qualitative lens, the report also identifies reasons why development finance disbursement constraints occur.

[3] EASP Project Information Document (PID), Concept Stage (2020); The World Bank, 1818 H Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20433 Website: https://projects.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/project-detail/P166685
|
Summary: The EASP will build on earlier engagements in the sector to directly support the expansion and strengthening of the electricity network, and scale-up of service connections in areas within the network reach, as well as increase access to off-grid electricity and clean coking services in areas outside the network footprint and in refugee settlements and their host communities. The project will strengthen the institutions and operational capacity of the Health, Safety and Environment Unit (HSEU) at the MEMD to ensure smooth implementation of the project by the various implementing agencies under the project. Technical assistance support would be also provided to the ERA to introduce new regulations if needed to ensure private sector participation to increase electricity access, both in grid and off-grid areas.

|
Summary: The Energy Access Scale-up Project (EASP) project will support the country’s efforts to scale up access to electricity for households including for refugee and host communities, commercial enterprises, health and education facilities, as enshrined in Uganda’s Vision 2040 and other policy documents. The project will build on earlier engagements in the sector to directly support the expansion and strengthening of the electricity network, and scale-up of service connections in areas within the network reach, as well as increase access to off-grid electricity and clean cooking solutions in areas outside the network footprint and in refugee settlements and their host communities.

[5] Energy for Rural Transformation (ERT) Project, Annex 4, (2009); The World Bank, 1818 H Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20433
|
Summary: In this Energy for Rural Transformation Project (ERT), there is a long-term orientation, targeted at building effective bridges to private sector market development and financing capabilities to ensure commercial sustainability. The Bank’s lending instrument for this project is an Adaptable Program Loan (APL). Instead of an ex-ante definition of the entire project and a linear implementation path, this APL: (i) provides phased and sustained implementation support for long term development of technologies and markets; (ii) at the private sector level, provides different entry points to encourage investment in market development, and permits a logical maturation to commercial delivery and finance mechanisms, and (iii) includes financial resources for an increased level of pre-investment studies that would lead to a long-term private sector investment pipeline.

[6] Case Study of an Energy Project in Health Facilities in Kenya: How to Implement Demand-based Approaches, (2020); 10 G Street NE Suite 800, Washington, DC 20002, USA Website: https://www.wri.org
|
Summary: The World Resources Institute (WRI) partnered with Population Services Kenya (PS Kenya) to study a setof clinics that were offered loans to invest in rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems or grid batteries to supplement their grid electricity supply. Roughly half of the clinics succeeded in loan repayment. The rest failed, and in some cases, defaulted on their loans. Our case study analyzed the factors that underpinned the loan repayment, highlighting the importance of the demand-based approach when designing energy access projects.

|
Summary: The Government of Uganda (GoU), with support from the World Bank, is preparing the Uganda Energy Access Scale-up Project (EASP). The proposed EASP will support GoU’s efforts to scale-up access to electricity for households, refugee and host communities, industrial parks, commercial enterprises and public institutions, so as to spur socio-economic transformation, in line with Uganda’s Vision 2040 and other Government policies. EASP activities will build on earlier Government initiatives, in the energy sector, to support the expansion and strengthening of the electricity distribution network, scale-up service connections within the network, and increase access to off-grid electricity in refugee settlements and their host communities, and to clean cooking services outside the electricity distribution network.

Summary: This report presents the National Health Accounts for Uganda covering the FY 2014/15 and 2015/16 The uniqueness of this NHA is that it also contains the analysis of household health expenditure based on the UDHS 2016 report. Uganda has committed herself to the achievement of SDGs and this has necessitated the in-depth analysis of all health related SDGs. Among others, the benefit of the financing information presented is that, it provides inputs into the preparation of Sector Strategic plans, which the Ministry plans to review in the fiscal year 2018/19. It is evident that NHA is a useful tool in mapping the sources and uses of funds and thereby assisting in devising appropriate health financing policies and suggesting how to reallocate resources efficiently. This report in its wholeness facilitates and shades light on the resource commitments, disbursements and actual expenditures and their relationship with the policy statements. The stakeholders in the health sector are encouraged to read and make use of this report.
