Description: This market assessment and roadmap was developed to inform efforts on powering healthcare facilities in Madagascar. Specifically, it aims to:​

• Provide the government of Madagascar and its development partners with data on the extent of the energy deficit that persists in the country’s healthcare sector, including non-electrified and semi-electrified facilities.​​
• Present strategic information and implementation guidelines that the government and its partners need to allocate the investments required to implement sustainable electrification of healthcare facilities (HFs).​
• Propose long-term sustainable model options, including innovative approaches for the provision of continuous and reliable electricity services. This does not involve formulating a tailored solution for each HF.​

Description: By 2030, access to electricity for 70% of households from a modern source of electricity or light is one of the ambitious economic and social goals of the new energy policy in Madagascar. These goals could be achieved by expanding and interconnecting large centralized grids and extending them to the most remote rural centers. However, this "top-down" model of electrification faces many obstacles. It requires massive public and private investment over the next decade and is only possible if political stability and public financial strength are permanently combined. Moreover, this model, based mainly on the use of centralized electrical energy sources (hydraulic, fossil, etc.), seems ill-suited to the energy challenges of the 21st century, characterized by the need to develop decentralized renewable energy sources and their diffusion. This paper, therefore, proposes to define another possible response to this challenge by disseminating an alternative, progressive and decentralized electrification model called "Lateral Electrification".

Description: Although Madagascar has vast potential of renewable energy sources (hydro, solar, wind, biomass), national energy consumption and supply is low. The energy sector is characterised by low access to modern forms of energy with only a quarter to a third of adults having access. These adults largely use electricity for lighting, and not for more intensive purposes like cooking. As a result, the majority of people rely on candles and lamps for lighting, and almost all use biomass for cooking. The low level of access is likely a result of affordability issues on the demand side, but also extensive supply side issues. This includes a limited grid infrastructure that is deteriorating due to age and insufficient maintenance.

Description: PARSE will have a positive impact on the entire national economy and the Malagasy population. The improved financial health of the National Water and Electricity Company (JIRAMA) will enable the State to gradually reduce subsidies granted to the latter and devote its budget to investment expenditure that can generate sustainable and inclusive growth.

Description: Madagascar, under its Madagascar Action Plan (MAP), aims to "fight against poverty and to improve the economy.” But Madagascar’s ability to achieve this goal is constrained by challenges in the power sector. As a result, Madagascar’s government is working to expand its electricity supply and encourage investment in the energy sector to stimulate the economy.
