Panel data analysis evaluates the impact of electricity access on clinical outcomes in off-grid communities, indicating the value of infrastructure improvements.
The study examines off-grid communities in Rwanda to evaluate their veterinary service delivery systems. Panel data from 20 off-grid communities were collected over three years. A fixed effects model was used to estimate the impact of various variables on veterinary service utilization and outcome measures. There was a significant positive correlation (p < 0.05) between access to electricity and improved clinical outcomes, with an average increase in treatment success rate by 12% among communities with reliable power supply. The study confirms the importance of infrastructure improvements for enhancing veterinary service efficacy in off-grid areas. Investment in electrification programmes is recommended to improve access to essential services and outcomes for affected populations. The empirical specification follows Y=β₀+β^ X+ε, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
