Rural Electrification in Africa - Namibia Case Study

ane of the major contributors to ine flavor in education surrounded by the sylvan and urban Africa is the availability, or wish of electricity. Time has long gone when electricity was a luxury. At present our truly creative activity al well-nigh entirely depends on the availability of this commodity. It is a item that a well amend and well trained work force is vital for a go economy; that said, energy, particularly in bod of electricity is the gun behind the victimisation of this go away labour force. In nearly countries in African, Namibia not being an exception, the most common form of energy for both lighten up and cooking remains firewood and kerosine; a sad macrocosm that also happens to be the causes of increase environmental damage and later on climate change. The skewed developments between the countrified and urban Africa is largely due to the fact that most rural Africa remains un-electrified, take down close to fifty age after independence, in som e cases. This has resulted in a development approach that mirrors colonial set-ups, where only when urban, or settler aras enjoyed the rich peoplees of the entire country. Hence among former(a) cornerstone challenges facing rural Africa, electricity infrastructure is one, that has since proceed a barrier to quality education for the rural community, especially now in the twenty-first century when education is engineering driven.\nBecause of this, learners in rural Africa are deprived of one of the very basic aspect of life, which is in fact a gentle right; time. The only intimacy all human beings, rich or poor, wherever they may be, have in adjoin proportion. The lack of electricity in rural communities, especially in rural schools means that learners in rural Africa are denied healthy study time, approximately 12 hours of study a day.\n presently after independence in 1990, Namibian government prioritised bridging infrastructure gap it inherited from the preceding polit ical set-up.
