Nearly one in five people around the world do not have access to modern energy services
1.3 billion people lack access to electricity, and an even larger number of people are under-electrified facing constant outages
Global Electrification Rates
Base of the pyramid consumers pay the highest relative cost for electricity and energy access, e.g. lighting typically accounts for 10 to 15% of total household income
Over 95% of people without electricity live in Sub-Saharan Africa or Developing Asia
The poor spend $37 billion on poor-quality energy solutions to meet their lighting and cooking needs
Over the past four decades, the gap between energy supply and demand in Africa has widened
5
• Countries such as Uganda have made slow progress, and electrification rates remain very low (approximately 11%)
• Those with access to power often experience long days of outages and intermittence in electricity (> 70 days a year, >100 hr/mo)
• Ugandans (consumers and businesses) who require power are forced to pay high costs for alternative sources (diesel-powered generators can cost upwards of $1 - $3 /kWh)
Fewer than 11% of Ugandans Have Access to (unreliable) Grid Electricity

Systems Approach: C x E x E x E
A partnership between Accenture and Notre Dame in the development of an renewable-powered economic ecosystem in a box
C: ICT4DND expertise, and more than 7 years of BOSCO experience at 30+ sites in Uganda, delivering reliable affordable internet and ICT training to communities at the edge.
E: Renewable EnergyNDIGD, and College of Engineering renewable energy expertise plus industry partners solutions to provide a rugged, energy-efficient renewable microgrids
E: Education for Solar, ICT and EntrepreneurshipSchools, Universities and education NGO partners to develop and implement technical and user training to develop and grow local capacity.
E: Fostering EntrepreneurshipLeveraging Accenture’s global Skills to Succeed platform in partnership with Educate! to deliver entrepreneurial education, experiential learning and mentoring to fuel the potential of the Ugandan people to develop new businesses and improve their livelihoods
10
C: Connectivity = ICT to ‘accelerate and inform development’
• ICTs reduce isolation, encourage self-expression, strengthen community, and foster hope to energize constructive change
• Leapfrogging missing infrastructure, ICTs promote efficient training, formation of partnerships, and information flow concerning market conditions and best practices to guide development efforts
• For every 10 % increase in broadband penetration we can expect an average of 1.38% additional growth in national GDP. (Source: World Bank; Qiang 2009)
“[ICT] is the best gift anyone could offer to the youth of Sankuru. If you can break yourself into pieces for the Congo, do it for this cause” Fr. Albert Shuyaka
Post-conflict cathartic healing and release through blogging, wikis and social media.
Acholi Nun orders a well from an NGO using BOSCO Internet services
ICT helps restored communities develop partnerships and stay informed
11
E: Electricity, sustainable from both an environmental and an economic perspective
Each project location is built around an anchor tenant that agrees to use significant amount of the energy, and pay a specific rate comparable to on-grid electricity (UGX 2000/kWh ~ $0.80/kWh)
– In Phase 1, anchor tenants are schools and community centers– In Phases 2 and 3, agricultural users, hospitals, businesses and other anchor tenants are being
considered
In order to scale, the energy cost model must be established and competitive with alternative energy providers
Recovering energy production costs allows for– Long term sustainability – O&M, growth– Establishment of energy entrepreneurs
(micro utility, service providers, installers, …)
12
EE: Entrepreneurial Education Powered by Accenture’s Skill to Succeed and Local Partnerships
Accenture and ND are partnering with local NGOs that provide entrepreneurial education and will serve anchor tenants of energy
– Educate! at the King James comprehensive school in Lira– BOSCO Uganda at the Pabbo Education & Research Centre– 31 Lengths at the St. Mary’s Lacor Secondary School
Accenture will leverage the global Skills to Succeed platform to improve partners’ entrepreneurship training and provide people with skills necessary for employment
– Accenture provides mentoring for start-up and expansion for entrepreneurs
– Accenture provides project management, online module creation, and partnership design services in the development of a customized curriculum
– BOSCO-Uganda coordinates pilot testing, data collection and assessment
Leveraging partnerships and Accenture’s platform in the development of an entrepreneurial curriculum

How we are evaluating impact and outcomes
Energy System Evaluation– Are the systems getting enough solar power and energy? – How are consumers using the power?– What rate are they paying? Is this sustainable?
Economic Impact– How many people are trained in entrepreneurship or with business skills?– What is the outcome of the introduction of electricity on new and existing businesses? – How will the projects benefit each community?
Number of people per site– Lira – 2000+ secondary school students, expanding to community access over time– Lacor – ~1000+ secondary school students, expanding to community access – Pabbo – dozens of local businesses, training impact on ~1000s of community members
Monitoring and impact evaluation will be completed by Notre Dame’s Initiative for Global Development team, with oversight by Accenture Development Partnerships (ADP)
