The overall project development objective is to increase access to modern energy in targeted rural areas and improve the planning and management of sector resources by all energy sector institutions. Through its intervention, the project is expected to contribute to improved reliability of electricity supply. Increased access to and reliability of electricity are key factors in the realization of the Government of Cameroon's (GOC) growth and poverty reduction strategy. 2. The Project Development Objective will be achieved through: (i) Setting up a financing and planning mechanism for rural energy (Rural Energy Fund); (ii) Improving the legal and regulatory framework and strengthening the capacity of sector institutions to better execute their mandates (MINEE, ARSEL, AER, EDC); and (iii) Improving the preparation of energy projects, including LPHP and rural energy projects.

Preparation of the Lom Pangar project has been completed and the project was approved by the board on March, 27 2012. Progress under component 2 (Capacity Building) continues to advance. The project is currently being restructured and approval is being sought to extend the closing date of the project by a period of 2 years to 31 December 2015 to enable the Government to fully utilize the available funding and to change the conditions for eligibility to the subsidy for grid based rural electrification available from the Rural Energy Fund (REF). In addition it is proposed that the implementation capacity of sector agencies is augmented to facilitate faster project implementation.
