• Developing entrepreneurship in Africa: investigating critical resource challenges (2017, background): “Chad, Somalia, Uganda, Sierra Leone and Rwanda have access rates of 5% whiles Mauritania, Ghana and South Africa have electricity access of more than 50% (Brew-Hammond, 2010).”
• Socio-economic hurdles to widespread adoption of small-scale biogas digesters in Sub-Saharan Africa: A review (2014, background): “countries, such as Liberia, Burkina Faso and Tanzania, more than 95% of the population relies on traditional biomass for cooking and heating [1].”
• Widening energy access in Africa: Towards energy transition (2012, background): “However, stark inequalities persist in the worldwide distribution of access to modern energy services, with citizens in Sub-Saharan Africa experiencing the lowest per capita access to modern energy compared to others in the developing world (Brew-Hammond, 2010).”
• Towards the achievement of SDG 7 in sub-Saharan Africa: Creating synergies between Power Africa, Sustainable Energy for All and climate finance in-order to achieve universal energy access before 2030 (2018, background): “For example, Brew-Hammond [20] argued that achieving between 50% and 100% access to modern energy services by 2030 in Africa would require (i) more effective mobilisation and use of both domestic and external funding, (ii) the development and implementation of innovative policy frameworks, and (iii)”
• Access to electricity in the World Energy Council's global energy scenarios: An outlook for developing regions until 2030 (2016, background): “Thus, utilities are reluctant to serve these areas unless remote consumers are able or willing to pay at least for operating costs [74].”
• Energy Access Scenarios to 2030 for the Power Sector in Sub-Saharan Africa (2012, unknown): “Brew-Hammond (2010) reviews several sets of ambitious energy access targets as agreed by the regional groupings within the region.”
• Renewable Energy in the Context of Sustainable Development (2011, background): “Access issues need to be understood in a local context1 and in most countries there is a marked difference between electrifi cation in urban and rural areas (Baumert et al., 2005; Bhattacharyya, 2005; World Bank, 2008b; UNDP and WHO, 2009; Brew-Hammond, 2010; IEA, 2010a).”
