This project is the first known attempt to directly investigate whether facility level electrification improves the provision of maternal and child health services.
Rather than simply correlate electrification with levels of utilisations, we study the relationship between electrification and levels of efficiency in the provision of maternal and child health services.
In addition, we conduct stakeholder interviews to reveal the policy and operational challenges that Zambia is facing in planning and implementing the UN Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) Agenda on women’s health.
