Description: The Government of Ethiopia, in collaboration with the FCDO Africa Clean Energy Technical Assistance Facility Programme and the World Resources Institute, would like to invite you to the launch of the Energy Access Explorer (EAE) for Ethiopia.
EAE is an online, open-source, interactive, geospatial platform that enables clean energy entrepreneurs, energy planners, donors, and development-oriented institutions to identify high priority areas where energy access can be expanded. Using spatial data to link energy supply with growing or unmet demand is essential to gaining a better picture of energy access and expanding energy services to those who need it the most. Furthermore, EAE functions as a dynamic Geographic Information System and data repository which reduces software engineering and data transaction costs both for data providers and users.
