| Description : |
The rural electrification development appears among the priority objectives of the Senegal Government which considers the electricity access as a major tool to fight against poverty. It is the reason why, the institutional framework put in place in 1998, aims, with the ASER creation, at a more important electricity penetration in the rural areas villages. Two main axis structures this new strategy : - The erection of the private sector as a main actor of the rural electrification within the framework of a public/private partnership. - The adoption of the concept of electrification concession as the implementation framework of the rural electrification priority programme (PPER), with the possibility to support the local initiative projects (ERILS projects) initiated by the local authorities, the consumers associations, the villagers communities and the local operators. |
