A multi-dimensional framework for designing results-based energy sector resilience plans

Significant impacts of climate change on the energy sector in Sub-Saharan Africa could lead to this sector configurations marked by energy services supply alteration, energy services quality reduction and energy services access degradation. Such configurations of the energy sector are factors that could reduce resilience options for economic and social sectors. In the context of sub-Saharan Africa, energy sector resilience to climate change should be a crucial component of overall resilience to climate change. In practice, it will require the development of specific knowledge bodies and decision-making tools for the design, planning, management, monitoring and evaluation of the energy sector resilience policies which concern energy services supply, energy services quality, energy services demand and energy services access. The main output of this article is the Badolo EnergyResilienceProspect framework. It is a scientific tool for the formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of energy sector resilience to climate change policies based on resilience configurations that secure energy services supply, energy services quality and energy services access.Basically, the Badolo EnergyResilienceProspect framework is an innovative scientific tool to improve the efficiency and impact of energy resilience to climate change policies. It suggests results-based energy resilience policies, taking into account contextual specificities, gender issues, social inclusion and greenhouse gas emissions reduction.
