It reviews energy demand and supply, the current state of non-power energy such as cooking, and power-sector constraints that affect climate relevance. The note outlines adaptation, mitigation and resilience measures, including institutional and policy actions, sector decarbonization options, energy efficiency, and the costs and benefits of transition. It also links the findings to World Bank diagnostics and supporting references.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nEASTERN AND  \nSOUTHERN AFRICA  \nMALAWI CCDR  \nEnergy Sector Background Note  \nSeptember 2022  \n© 2022 The World Bank Group  \n1818 H Street NW, Washington, DC 20433  \nTelephone: 202-473-1000; [Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank Group with external contributions.“The World Bank Group” refers to the legally separate organizations of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) .  \nThe World Bank Group does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the content included in this work, or the conclusions or judgments described herein, and accepts no responsibility or liability for any omissions or errors (including, without limitation, typographical errors and technical errors) in the content whatsoever or for reliance thereon.
