    • Energy Access Explorer: Data-driven, Integrated and Inclusive Energy Planning

      Welcome to this e-learning course on Energy Access Explorer (EAE), an online, open-source, interactive, geospatial platform that enables users to identify high priority areas where energy access can be expanded.

      Upon completing this course, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the EAE platform, encompassing both its backend infrastructure and front-end interface. This will allow you to comprehensively navigate, manage, and utilize the platform, enhancing your ability to leverage its geospatial capabilities for informed decision-making and successful energy access intervention.

    EAE application to COOKBLU

    Princess Odiaka1 October 2026 3:22

    The course provided practical knowledge on using the Energy Access Explorer (EAE) as a geospatial tool for data-driven and inclusive energy planning. I found its ability to identify priority areas for energy access interventions particularly useful.

    I will apply this knowledge to my clean-cooking work by using EAE to identify and prioritize underserved communities, assess the geographic distribution of potential users, and inform last-mile delivery planning. This can help determine where to establish distribution points, how to reach remote households more efficiently, and where clean-cooking interventions and resources are most needed. It will also support better targeting of programmes by combining geographic, energy access and socioeconomic data.

    Overall, the course has strengthened my ability to use geospatial evidence to support more efficient, targeted and inclusive last-mile delivery of clean-cooking solutions.
