The policy objective is to ensure availability of modern energy services for all Liberians, in both the urban and rural areas. Currently, about 10% of urban residents and less than 2% of rural residents have electricity access largely from self-generation using expensive imported fuel. By 2015, in line with the Millennium Development Goals as adopted by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Government expects to achieve the following goals:  40% of Liberian citizens living in rural and peri-urban areas and using traditional biomass for cooking shall have access to improved stoves and kerosene or efficient-gas cookers in order to reduce indoor pollution;  30% of the urban and peri-urban population shall have access to reliable modern energy services enabling them to meet their basic needs (lighting, cooking, communication, and small production- related activities);  15% of the rural population and 25% of the schools, clinics, and community centers in rural areas shall have access to modern energy services to meet the same basic needs.
