African Development Bank / World Bank Group Learning Event
Light up and Power Africa: the Way Forward
Lessons from Independent Evaluation
Abidjan
Thursday December 10, 2015
8:30 – 12:30
Introduction
President Adesina has underscored the need to LIGHT UP AND POWER AFRICA, making the
energy/electricity challenge in Africa one of the African Development Bank’s (AfDB) top five
priorities. This is not surprising since of the 1.1 billion people around the world who lack
access, almost 600 million are in Sub-Saharan Africa. At current rates of population growth
and electrification, this number is likely to increase to 935 million by the year 20301.
The World Bank Group (WBG) has also committed to achieving universal access to electricity
by 2030 under the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) Initiative. Both institutions are determined
to address the energy challenge in Africa.
The AfDB President has undertaken to take bold steps, think differently and act with a
greater sense of urgency to unlock Africa’s energy potential to support Africa’s economic
growth and development. One of such bold steps has led to the New Energy Deal for Africa,
which aims to extend electricity to the entire continent by 2025.
The AfDB and the WBG have been involved in the energy sector for some time. What have
we learned from experience that will inform this determination to address the energy
challenge in Africa? What can we learn from the experiences and good practices of
partners to inform the way forward and ensure that we light up and power Africa by 2025?
Learning from experience will help expedite achieving the energy objectives for all.
Key Objectives
Share evaluation results, especially lessons, with key stakeholders;
Contribute to learning and strengthen thinking about the way forward ;
Increase awareness of evaluations of energy sector work;
Exchange knowledge with partners and learn from each other;
Contribute to the global body of evaluation and development knowledge,
especially in the energy sector.

African Development Bank / World Bank Group Learning Event
Expected Outcomes
The AfDB’s New Deal on Energy aims to extend electricity to the entire continent by 2025 by
focusing on clearly identified action areas.
To achieve universal access to electricity by 2030, the World Bank evaluation calls upon
development organizations to work innovatively with country clients and partner; putting
them in the driver’s seat by adopting a new and transformative strategy to help them
orchestrate national, sustained, sector-level engagement for universal access.
Expected outcomes include the top five to ten actions that will contribute to lighting up and
powering Africa by 2025 under each scenario and top five to ten ways in which both
organizations can improve their partnership to achieve common objectives in the sector.

About the Evaluations
AfDB: Independent Evaluation of Bank Assistance in the Energy Sector
The energy sector is a core priority for the AfDB, which committed about UA 7.9 billion
over the last 14 years to the sector, the third largest share in the Bank’s overall
portfolio. Indeed, the energy portfolio increased by more than twentyfold from 2000
to 2013. But how is the Bank’s performance in the sector? Is the Bank achieving its
objectives in the sector?
This evaluation was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of the Bank’s
interventions—in order to inform and optimize its future strategic and operational
directions. It poses such questions as: Is it still relevant to invest in large-scale
hydropower projects? Does Africa still have to rely on fossil fuel energy sources? The
evaluation also draws pertinent lessons by identifying emerging trends and assessing
how the Bank has responded to these trends. It underscores the need for innovation
drawing on evidence from some of the Bank’s innovative energy projects. The
evaluation will be completed in early 2016.
Evaluation of the AfDB Assistance in the Energy Sector - Approach Paper
The World Bank Group provided $63.5 billion to the electricity sector during FY00–14,
about 9 percent of all WBG commitments. The World Bank Group support to
electricity access evaluation examined the institution’s performance and
preparedness to put its country clients on track to achieve universal access to
electricity. It finds that the associated development outcomes were favorable
overall, but that low access countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, were not
particularly well served. It recommends that the World Bank should engage
African Development Bank / World Bank Group Learning Event
decisively and focus intensively on countries with low electricity access; Move from a
predominantly project-by-project approach—which lacks the requisite scale and
speed – to a far greater use of a sector-wide organizing framework and process for
implementing rapid access scale-up; and Design an investment financing platform
led by government to crowd-in necessary financial resources from both public and
private sources.
