STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • The Kenyan government’s new national electrification strategy aims to expand access to electricity to all citizens by 2022
  • With continued support from development partners and private sector investment, the government plans to extend grids and intensification, as well as consider mini-grids and standalone solar systems
  • Achieving universal access is a core goal of the country’s Vision 2030 development plan to become a middle-income country
NAIROBI, December 6, 2018 – Kenya has achieved substantial progress in economic, social, and human development over the past decade. Significant progress has also been made in the energy sector. For instance, Kenya has been taking advantage of its rich renewable resources and has emerged as one of the global leaders in the use of geothermal resources as a clean fuel for power generation.
Thanks to strong government leadership, as well as private sector investment and support from development partners, Kenya has also experienced an impressive expansion of access to electricity. Kenya now has the highest electricity access rate in East Africa: total access stands at 75% both from grid and off-grid solutions, according to the recent Multi-Tier Framework Energy Access Survey Report.
But there are a quarter of Kenyans still lack access to electricity.
Responding to this challenge, in December 2018 the government launched the Kenya National Electrification Strategy (KNES) – a roadmap for achieving universal access to electricity by the year 2022. With the help of geospatial technology, the strategy has identified least-cost options for bringing electricity to homes, businesses and public facilities. In addition to grid extension and intensification, it recognizes the important role the private sector will have to play in off-grid solutions, both mini-grids and standalone solar systems.
Universal access to electricity is a key requirement for meeting Kenya’s development goals under Vision 2030 –the country’s development plan and blueprint to become an industrialized and middle-income country providing a high quality of life to all of its citizens. Kenya ranked 94th globally in the recently released World Bank Human Capital Index with a 0.52 score. This means that a child born in Kenya today is 52% of who s/he could be with complete education and full health. Provision of adequate, affordable, and reliable electricity supply will be important supplement to the investments in health and education guided by Kenya’s Vision 2030 to help Kenya move up the index. Achievement of the Big Four Agenda - enhanced manufacturing, food security and nutrition, universal health coverage, affordable housing- is dependent on adequate energy supply.
The World Bank has been working closely with the Government of Kenya for many years and is committed to helping Kenya extend access to modern, affordable, reliable and clean energy. The World Bank supported the flagship Last Mile Connectivity Program and Slum Electrification Program, which have contributed to the phenomenal expansion of electricity access in the country in the last five years. The World Bank is also supporting the government’s efforts to provide electricity to 1.3 million people in remote rural areas in Kenya’s underserved counties through off-grid solutions.
“Kenya’s experience is providing valuable lessons for other African countries in terms of the government’s commitment, incentive policies and regulation,” said Lucio Monari, Director for Energy and Energy Extractives at the World Bank. “Its efforts to expand and improve access to electricity will impact millions of lives for generations to come. The World Bank will continue to support the Government of Kenya in its ambitious plans to achieve universal access by 2022.”

Kenya wana barabra za lami km 12,000 . Tanzania barabara za lami ni km 7600
Na tilia maanani kenyaINA eneo nusu ya Tanzania , sasa niambie nani ana barabara zaidi za lami. Kigezo ambacho Tz inaizidi Kenya ni chakula tu. Maeneo mengine yote ya kiuchumi Tz iko nyuma ya Kenya. Tena awamu ya NNE Tz ndio imejenga barabara na awamu ya tank haijajenga hata km 1000 . anaebisha google economic comparison kati ya hizo vigezo vyote utapata. Hata makusanyo ya kodi na foreign reserve Kenya is far ahead . wale wenye majukumu ya propaganda mtabisha lakini wenye akili za uelewa tutawaacha lakini ukweli haujifichi. Hiyo ndio chanzo cha kudhibiti takwimu Tanzania lakini hatuna uwezo Wa kudhibiti takwimu za kimataifa. Pale ukweli unaanikwa.

Wewe ni lofa na mpumbavu, takwimu tu za 2017 barabara za lami Tanzania zilikua zaidi 12k (zilizokua zimekamilika) huku barabara zilizokua under construction zikiwa zaidi ya 7k hapo sijaweka barabara mpya zilizoanza baada ya 2017

In case umepotea njia, hili sio jukwaa ulilozoea kuongea hovyo bila facts, mzee huku ni facts zone, kajipange

That is Urban connectivity, what about rural connectivity, remember that in order to get connectivity for the whole country you need to divide by two sum of urban + rural.
