Establish a working group by 2026 to embed energy access across FCDO policies and create incentives.
Conclusion
The FCDO must embed energy access across development, climate and humanitarian policies. A departmental working group should be set up by the end of 2026 to coordinate delivery. The FCDO should also create 32 targeted funding and measurable incentives for programmes that integrate energy access with other sectors, including health, water, and food systems.
