Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
The World Bank, with the support of the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), has launched the Global Survey on Energy Access, which relies on the Multi-Tier Framework (MTF) approach. The first phase is being carried out in 17 countries across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The survey's objective is to provide more nuanced data on energy access, including access to electricity and cooking solutions. The MTF approach goes beyond the traditional binary measurement of energy access-for example, "having or not having" a connection to electricity, and "using or not using" clean fuels in cooking - to capture the multidimensional nature of energy access and the vast range of technologies and sources that can provide energy access, while accounting for the large differences in user experiences. The MTF survey provides detailed household energy data for governments, development partners, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, investors, and service providers.
The MTF survey is a global baseline survey on household access to electricity and clean cooking, which goes beyond the binary approach to look at access as a spectrum of service levels experienced by households. The resulting dataset contains responses from households to questions on experiences concerning their electricity services and cooking practices, as well as questions on their basic socioeconomic factors, such as age, gender, education, expenditure, and health.
