The African Development Bank and KfW Development Bank this week said they will be partnering to accelerate implementation of recommendations contained in the 2018 Electricity Regulators Index (ERI) report for Côte d’Ivoire’s energy sector. This partnership arrangement between the two institutions was announced during a technical workshop with key stakeholders from the West African nation’s energy sector. The workshop reviewed institutional and regulatory developments and assessed implementation of recommendations in the inaugural 2018 ERI report. The ERI is a diagnostic tool that highlights key areas in regulatory design and practice in Africa’s energy sector. The index provides a simple but powerful roadmap for policy makers and regulators to take actions to improve their regulatory frameworks and the attractiveness of the sector.
