The Mission 300 Progress Portal tracks progress toward the goal of connecting 300 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2030. As part of this goal, the World Bank Group has committed to connect 250 million people and the African Development Bank to connect an additional 50 million people. The data presented in the Progress Portal captures outcomes and forecasts from World Bank Group operations. It also includes a financing snapshot, showing WBG commitments and co-financing contributions mobilized in support of Mission 300. The African Development Bank maintains its own complementary systems to track their progress on connections and financing.
The results currently displayed reflect the World Bank’s approved and planned operations to expand electricity access. The numbers shown represent the current baseline and are updated quarterly. As the pace of electrification accelerates and additional operations come online, both achieved and forecasted results will continue to grow, helping us reach our target of connecting 250 million people.
