Trends in EnDev’s work
Regionally, the focus on sub-Saharan African countries slightly increased in 2019, where 66% of the funds were committed. 62% of the global results can be attributed to this region.
Overall, a total of 2,000 health centers and rural clinics were provided with access to modern energy, a majority of 1,430 are located in Africa.
53,860 small and medium-sized enterprises were reached and have benefitted from access to electricity and access to improved cooking solutions. Both in 2019 and 2018, the number of small and medium-sized enterprises gaining access to energy increased above average compared to the previous year. In 2019, 7,615 small- and medium-sized enterprises gained new access, which is an overall increase of 14%. This path is expected to continue with an average of 11,000 additional small- and medium-sized enterprises per year. The majority of SMEs have access to electricity. This trend is expected to continue.
In total, there are 11,786 full-time-equivalent jobs in the partner countries that can be attributed to EnDev. Since most real jobs are part-time, it is estimated that 23,572 employed or self-employed people can be attributed to EnDev´s activities.
In 2019, 2.33 million tonnes of CO2e were saved that can be attributed to EnDev. It is expected that the annual saving will follow a steady and moderate growth path in the coming years. The expected results from EnDev’s upcoming GCF-funded activities will contribute to a more dynamic development on the emission reductions.
