Off-Grid Stakeholder Coordination and Partnership Framework

Nigeria’s OG sector is governed by several policy and regulatory documents that set out the government’s off-grid electrification plans and targets. REA is empowered with the mandate to drive their actualisation, in collaboration with public and private sector partners. Nigeria’s off-grid coordination journey actively began in April 2017 in the form of a donor roundtable meeting. This has morphed into quarterly off-grid stakeholders’ meetings. It has become increasingly apparent to the REA and other stakeholders that quarterly meetings alone would not be enough to efficiently foster collaboration to increase the impact of off-grid interventions in the country. An improved coordination and partnership framework will enable the REA to coordinate better which in turn maximises resources, identifies gaps, ensures the sustainability of interventions, increases impact and ultimately increases energy access to the unserved and underserved
