This document presents the technical approach for how to collect, process and publish data on the multi-tier household access to electricity and cooking solutions based upon the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), a global knowledge and technical assistance program administered by the World Bank.

The report presents key findings from the survey on households' access to (sustainable) energy for electricity and cooking, as well as the quality of the access.

Access to electricity and improved cooking solutions is dependent upon policy and available resources at the national level, the community level and the household level.

This is a translation of a report by the National Statistics Institute (INE) in Mozambique on the impact of sustainable energy from 2023, “Inquérito sobre o Impacto do Acesso à Energia Sustentável – IAES 2022 Relatório Final”. INE is the legal entity responsible for producing the country's official statistics based on universally accepted methodologies.
