This report provides strategic advice to policymakers and regulatory agencies to accelerate the penetration of efficient off-grid lighting products. It includes an industry perspective on how various policy measures could stimulate growth of the efficient off-grid lighting market, accelerate access to efficient lighting and reduce the environmental impact of fuel-based lighting.
The scope of this report is based on lessons learned from the integrated policy approach process followed in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) sub-region and other regions. The publication discusses the context and cross-cutting issues of the transition to efficient off-grid lighting, including potential benefits. It identifies best practices, proven case studies and practical recommendations for establishing a regulatory framework and policy strategies for efficient off-grid lighting promotion, including the four elements of an integrated policy approach to accelerate and ensure a successful transition.
