Description: Building on the draft Handbook developed in Phase I, Phase II is focused on field testing and refinement of the handbook in partnership with the Governments of Ethiopia and Uganda. The objective is to facilitate a process of policy dialogue in both countries, leading to the development and - if appropriate - publication of a roadmap, in each country. The roadmaps are expected to include: a) an official government position on the role of PAYG, and off-grid solar, in contributing to national electrification and digital economy goals; b) clearly identified policy issues or opportunities to be addressed; c) a preferred policy approach to addressing these issues or opportunities; d) a plan for meaningful advancement of policy reform. Phase III will focus on finalizing and publishing the toolkit, based on insight and feedback collected through the field-testing process.
