Kenya generates over 90% of its electricity from renewable sources, one of the best in Africa, with 78% of the population having access.

At the #EnergyConferenceKe, @JLStalon emphasized that while Kenya’s progress is remarkable, we must also ensure access for marginalized and left-behind communities.

@UNDPKenya is committed to ensuring access for marginalized and left behind communities through Kenya’s Next Generation Transformation & Acceleration Initiative (2025–2027), working with the Government and partners in the sector.
