Mission 300 aims to connect 300 million people to energy access by 2030.
Household electricity access improves family welfare. It lights up homes, connecting people to information and making cooking safer and easier. For communities, electricity keeps hospital lights on and medicine cold. It connects students to the internet and training programs. It powers irrigation systems, commercial farming, and processing plants. It builds digital networks and fuels the industries that create jobs.
In partnership, the World Bank Group aims to connect 250 million people to electricity, and the African Development Bank Group aims to connect 50 million people by 2030. Together, Mission 300 represents a major step toward expanding electricity access across Sub-Saharan Africa. By prioritizing scalable solutions today, Mission 300 catalyzes job creation and economic transformation, while building systems that can be extended to the hardest-to-reach communities in the future.
