ACCESS is a global coalition of 65 CSOs and practitioners whose mission is to advocate for people living in poverty to have access to safe, reliable and affordable energy, and for environmentally sustainable and efficient energy systems globally.  Most ACCESS members are practitioners and civil society groups based in sub-Saharan Africa, in countries with high levels of energy poverty. Although Sub-Sahara is the main priority area for ACCESS, some of ACCESS members also operate in Asia and Latin America.
