The potential of performance targets (<i>imihigo</i>) as drivers of energy planning and extending access to off‐grid energy in rural Rwanda
Summary. Rwanda's imihigo performance contracts framework can drive rural electrification by increasing household awareness and participation in off-grid energy planning. Survey data from 218 Solar Home System users and focus groups show that village-level energy targets influence household prioritization of energy access. Including off-grid options in imihigo materials and using community meetings for feedback sharing enables private sector providers to target underserved areas and design business models matching local needs.
