The Government of Uganda (GoU) received funding from the World Bank toward
implementation of the Electricity Access Scale-up Project (EASP). The Project will support
GoU’s efforts to increase access to electricity for households, refugee and host communities,
industrial parks, commercial enterprises and public institutions.

expansion and strengthening of the electricity distribution network, scale-up service
connections within the network, increase access to off-grid electricity in refugee settlements
and their host communities and access to clean cooking services and technologies.

connectivity.
