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.
