RTI assisted USAID in expanding affordable and reliable electricity services in East Africa, with the ultimate goal of supporting development priorities, including inclusive economic growth, security, and improved health and education outcomes. Under the East Africa Energy Program, RTI will work to optimize the region’s power supply, increase grid-based power connections, strengthen utilities, and increase the region’s power trade. The project will deploy an adaptive management approach, consistent with USAID’s collaborating, learning and adapting (CLA) approach, to program design, implementation, and management. RTI will also build on our previous work to increase gender equity in the power sector by promoting women’s leadership, adopting a gender-balanced approach to training, and providing mentoring and coaching to female leaders across the region.
