Mission 300 seeks to connect 300 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa to electricity by 2030. As part of this goal, the World Bank Group has committed to connect 250 million people and the African Development Bank to connect an additional 50 million people. The data presented in the Progress Portal captures outcomes and forecasts from World Bank Group operations. It also includes a financing snapshot, showing WBG commitments and co-financing contributions mobilized in support of Mission 300. The African Development Bank maintains its own complementary systems to track their progress on connections and financing.

The results currently displayed reflect the World Bank’s approved and planned operations to expand electricity access. The numbers shown represent the current baseline and are updated quarterly. As the pace of electrification accelerates and additional operations come online, both achieved and forecasted results will continue to grow, helping us reach our target of connecting 250 million people.

We track three categories to distinguish between verified results and forward-looking projections. The portal allows users to explore country-level data— showing both the connections already delivered and those expected as operations move forward.

Indicators:

  • People Connected: Total number of people connected to electricity through World Bank Group–financed operations (active or closed) during the Mission 300 reporting period (July 1, 2023, to December 31, 2030, to align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) end date). Results reported before this period are not included.
  • People to be Connected (Approved Operations): Forecasted number of people connected to electricity through approved operations, based on the historical performance of the energy portfolio, until December 31, 2030.
  • People to be Connected (Planned Operations): Forecasted number of people connected to electricity through pipeline operations not yet approved, until December 31, 2030.
