Abstract

In response to the global challenges, the United Nations (UN) Member States defined 17 interconnected Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030.

These goals, known as the 2030 Agenda, outline targeted action towards global development, including reducing poverty, addressing inequities, and responding to the challenges of climate change. A key SDG is SDG 7, which concerns sustainable energy access. Currently, an estimated 666 million people lack access to electricity, the majority living in Sub-Saharan Africa, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA 2024).

Despite incremental progress towards electrification, UN Women estimates that by 2030, 341 million women and girls will remain without electricity (UN Women 2023). In consideration of the 272 million children and youth not currently in education (UNESCO 2025; UIS 2025), the pressing challenges of both electrification and education access require a deeper understanding.
