Identify possible synergies with other policies or public investments (e.g. opportunities to bundle public services or to equip public buildings with RETs). Identify and exploit multi-stakeholder platforms at the regional and international levels for providing advice on appropriate RET deployment strategies in combination with job- and income-generation programmes. Combine financial support with consumer education, and managerial and technical capacity-building. The poverty and gender impacts of rural electrification investments have been poorly integrated into projects so far, and while the poorest households tend to benefit from electrification as coverage expands, effectively reaching the most vulnerable remains a priority.
