Mapping Priority Areas for Electrification to Support Agriculture Growth and Food Security

This study applied geospatial analysis using the Energy Access Explorer (EAE) platform to identify priority areas in Zambia where expanded electricity access can most effectively support agricultural growth and food security. The analysis focused on the intersection of agricultural activity, electricity access gaps, irrigation potential, infrastructure proximity and development need, in line with national priorities to expand irrigation, improve productivity and strengthen rural livelihoods.
