Energy Change Lab

Our vision is to create a purposed space to spark breakthrough transitions for greener and more equitable energy systems that are people-centred in Tanzania.

More than 800 million people — 11% of the world's population — still live without reliable electricity. The vast majority of them (600 million people) live in sub-Saharan Africa, and about 82 million reside in just three countries: Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
