Seeing the Light in rural Uganda

Some 43% of Uganda's population still lacked access to electricity in 2022.

This prompted Agence Française de Développement and the European Union to launch a new project aiming to connect 40,000 people in rural areas to the power grid by the end of 2024.

The work underway has already transformed the lives of 6,000 local residents, including Juliet Mukwaya, a nurse who is now better equipped to treat her patients.
