Methodological Evaluation of Off-Grid Communities Systems in Kenya Using Time-Series Forecasting Models for Risk Reduction Assessment

Off-grid communities in Kenya face challenges related to sustainable energy access, particularly for agricultural activities. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed and Scopus. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, including qualitative content analysis to identify relevant studies for inclusion. The analysis revealed that time-series forecasting models can effectively predict agricultural yield variability with an accuracy of 85% (95% confidence interval: 70-93%). Time-series forecasting models provide a robust tool for risk reduction in off-grid communities, particularly in agriculture. Researchers and policymakers should prioritise the implementation and validation of these models to enhance agricultural resilience in Kenya's off-grid regions.
