•‘Encouraging progress’ as millions gain electricity
•Some 800 million people have gained access to electricity since 2010, according to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), which said the figures highlighted “encouraging progress”.
•Despite the gains, however, progress remains “too slow” and uneven. The WHO warned that the global electricity access rate stagnated at 92% in 2024, with Sub-Saharan Africa increasingly left behind.
