"At the beginning of 2014, 37 of the 42 opted-in African countries have completed a rapid assessment / gap analysis. The next step for countries is to develop a SE4LL Action Agenda and Investment Prospectus(es). To support this process, the SE4ALL Africa Hub partners have led the development of Africa Guidelines for SE4ALL national Action Agendas. The Africa Guidelines lay out principles and process for developing Action Agendas and put forward a balanced approach of centralized and decentralized solutions to achieve universal access to energy services.

Progress in Burkina Faso:

The Gambia,
Sierra Leone and Burkina Faso are seeking technical validation of their Action Agendas, while
the remaining West African countries are actively developing their Action Agendas, the majority of
which are expected to be fnalised. Burkina Faso AA is in advanced stages and IP is under development."
