Abstract

Key Messages

  • Kenya lacks pro-poor electricity policies aimed at informal settlements leading to informal/illegal connections.
  • There is an urgent need for pro-poor energy policies to enhance access to safe energy for informal settlement households.
  • There is need for long-term collaborative partnerships that build trust between the informal settlement dwellers, government, and service providers.
