Adequate national capacity to track progress towards universal modern energy access represents an especially crucial element of energy poverty alleviation and sustainable development strategies. This paper presents an assessment of the current human and institutional capacity and potential gaps and barriers with regard to measuring and reporting on energy poverty at the national level. The study focuses on five West African countries. Results include a better understanding of the related institutional framework, and insights into data availability and gaps, data gathering techniques, data handling and methodologies, and dissemination of data. date: 2015-10-22 date_type: published publisher: Taylor and Francis id_number: 10.1080/20421338.2015.1094238 creators_browse_id: 1485 creators_browse_id: 1144 full_text_status: none publication: African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development volume: 7 number: 6 pagerange: 509-517 refereed: TRUE issn: 2042-1338 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Ramde, E.W., Nussbaumer, P. , & Bazilian, M.
