The Power Africa Data and Technical Support Services Activity is a five-year project that will provide technical and data support to Power Africa, the U.S. Government initiative aimed at supporting economic growth and development by increasing access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable power across Sub-Saharan Africa. The project will provide support to the following overarching Power Africa objectives:

1. Provide strategic and technical support for the advancement of Power Africa’s 2.0 strategy;
2. Co-develop and co-lead technical and capacity-building assistance relevant to deal support for all transactions and team programs;
3. Assess performance and progress toward established Power Africa targets, particularly related to energy generation transactions, but also including targets associated with connections, transmission and enabling environment;
4. Ensure that the data, information and analysis related to transactions activities, programs, and QASP are accurate, consistent, and timely; and
5. Provide strategic information technology (IT) and data support to enhance Power Africa’s data management needs and ensure compliance with USAID’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) and federal rules and mandates.

This support will enable Power Africa to better achieve its goals of bringing 30,000 Megawatts of clean new energy and 60 million new electricity connections to Sub-Saharan Africa.
