The priorities of the German interventions correspond largely The German interventions are largely complementary to the with the priorities of the partners who are involved and efforts of other donors and based on a division of labour, affected. [...] However, the absolute expansion of energy access in renewable energy's share of the global energy mix in order rural Africa is stagnating against the backdrop of the economic to contribute to transformative, low-carbon development recession in sub-Saharan Africa in the wake of the COVID-19 in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. [...] The conclusions A more detailed summary of current studies – itemised and recommendations of this evaluation also serve to document according to technical approaches and target groups, accountability for the work of the BMZ and the implementing particularly women, girls and especially the poor – is provided in organisations to the German Bundestag and the German public the literature reviews in th.

[...] One obstacle to realizing the outlined effects of reducing energy sources in addition to solar energy, as well as on the operating costs is the cost of acquiring and maintaining the financing mechanism of the solar appliance and the cost solar appliances; another aspect is the lack of spare parts and of maintaining and servicing the appliances, for example expertise for repairs.
