The GNESD Energy Access Knowledge Base is an ongoing collection of energy access cases in Africa, Asia and South America. It includes policies, projects or programmes which have lead to increased access to energy services for households, communities or small scale businesses. The main purpose of the knowledge base is to provide easy access to well structured

and searchable information about energy access initiatives globally. Each case illustrates how a specific demand among the energy poor has been met through sustainable provision of modern energy solutions.

The member centres of the Global Network on Energy for Sustainable Development (GNESD) are publishing cases to the database.
