7 Where do we stand in Africa? Countries developing AAs June 2016 SE4All Action Agendas are under development or finalized in half of the African countries West Africa is following a coordinated regional approach under ECREEE lead AA/IP processes are ongoing in Angola, DRC, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Cameroon and Swaziland, with support of AfDB and UNDP AA process finalized/well advanced AA process starting/ongoing SE4ALL Partner country Several East African countries, including Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda finalized their AA. In 2016, the Hub received a new request from Botswana 6 In total, some 28 countries have embarked on the process

13 The SE4All Africa website The Hub recently launched the SE4All Africa website: Short description of the context SE4All focal point contact Country SE4All related news Documentation to download SE4All targets Validation status

14 Implementation of the AA: Tracking and Monitoring Challenges at the country level : Develop methodologies to track and measure progress towards SE4All targets at country level Data availability and quality Limited capacities and resources in many cases Best practices: Establish a flexible but robust monitoring and evaluation framework for the Action Agenda to monitor implementation and make necessary adjustments over time Mechanism should link to the Government s own monitoring and evaluation instruments and where relevant build on existing monitoring exercises by the different partners Implicate national statistical offices in the monitoring efforts the monitoring of the AAs should ultimately provide one source of input for the global monitoring of SE4All/SDG 7 implementation.

15 Some recommendations from SE4All Africa workshop Definition : have a common definition of service level in the MTF Develop a coherent narrative accessible to a non technical audience to set policy goals, track their processes, and explain the results from binary indicators on energy access and how they relate to the MTF Create awareness via webinars on MTF targeting various stakeholders (e.g. a webinar was organized in April to present the MTF to SE4All focal points and other institutions) Integrate the MTF into the AA process Data collection and monitoring Avoid duplication of effort in data collection across frameworks at the global, regional, local levels (align definitions across frameworks, build local capacity, etc.) Institutionalizing the process within the SE4All framework Ensure sustainability and built capacity at the local level: make links with national statistical agencies, ministries, etc. and build their technical capacity Encourage the use of country processes for data collection, e.g. household surveys, to ensure country ownership of results Socialize the MTF approach by organizing webinars with a wider range of stakeholders (private sector, CSO, etc.)

16 Focus on implementation of AA/IPs 1/ Concerted follow-up to AA/IPs: AA to be recognized as coordination and implementation tool for SDG 7 at national level Government to maintain consultation processes focused on medium-term strategic agenda with clear decision-making processes Promotion and networking including the facilitation of dedicated SE4All investment fora and matchmaking making use of market places Political engagement/awareness raising/lobbying, recommending inter alia the engagement with development partners to use the AA/IP as guiding tool Mobilization of resources, including the facilitation of access to finance from available resources of partners linking demand with supply Systematic involvement of SE4All HIOs in the follow-up to AA/IPs

17 Focus on implementation of AA/IPs 2/ Coordination & Institutionalization AA process provides a platform for coordination at country-level and guidance for partner engagement Donor discipline to keep new initiatives aligned with agreed priorities, and maintain focus on medium- to long-term strategic goals Institutionalising SE4All processes in the countries and strengthening of SE4All Secretariats Regional coordination and leadership (e.g. RECs, AELG) 3/ Tracking and Monitoring Develop methodologies to track and measure progress towards SE4All targets at country level Make the link between monitoring efforts on SE4All at a country level and the Global SE4All monitoring and tracking work (GTF, MTF)
