An effort to halve the number of Africans without electricity is getting a boost.
Nonprofit impact accelerator CoAction Global announced this month that the Mission 300 Fellowship program will grow from 14 fellows to 22, with support from The Rockefeller Foundation. Mission 300, led by the World Bank and the African Development Bank, aims to connect 300 million people in sub-Saharan Africa to electricity by 2030.
The fellows are embedded within compact delivery and monitoring units, or CDMUs — government teams responsible for implementing national electrification plans under the initiative.
