Hello @clarkwb02; you are absolutely right. The common ISSUE that, basically, all African countries are facing is inaccessibility (by the vast majority of their respective populations) to electricity--which severely constrains economic development, has an adverse impact on health and education, etc. While the SOLUTIONS need to be tailored, there are, nevertheless, some common threads. First and foremost, there is an absolute need for private initiative and capital; governments don't have deep enough pockets or visionary thinkers / leaders--and, too many vested interests. Second, solutions must address the issue of affordability and payment systems that "fit" the economic environments and customer bases (a real potential role for cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology here I should think). Finally, any solution must be both commercially and financially viable--otherwise, it is doomed to failure.
