The overall objective of this regional EELA project is to contribute to improved access to sustainable energy for women and men, girls and boys, and mitigate negative externalities of the energy system. This will be achieved by promoting a market transformation for energy efficient lighting and appliances in the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) regions. More specifically, the project aims to create market and institutional conditions to enable a transformation of the sector to stimulate increased diffusion of efficient lighting products and appliances across all sectors. This project will bring regional support to private sector-led activities that will lead to increased use of energy efficient high-quality lighting and appliances through regional regulatory and trade harmonization interventions, while also considering inclusiveness of all project activities to assure socially sustainable project outcomes. Ultimately, the project will also help the creations of new industries in the manufacture, certification and distribution of energy efficient appliances and lighting products in the SADC and EAC regions.
