Nearly seventy percent of people living in the region lack access to electricity, forcing them to spend significant amounts of their ine on costly and unhealthy forms of energy such as diesel (柴油 ) fuel to run generators and kerosene (煤油 ) for lanterns. But if there is one thing Africa is not lacking, it is sunshine. And that means a lot。 indeed, for some of the world’s poorest people, it makes all the difference in the world. A little more than a year ago, Power Africa — a . Government initiative (倡議 ) coordinated by the U. S. Agency for International Development, or USAID — and Power Africa’s partners, the United Kingdom Department for International Development, Shell Foundation, and the African Development Bank, started the Scaling OffGrid Energy Grand Challenge for .Development, with a focus on payasyougo solar home systems.
