Assessing Renewable Energy Access Policies and Their Impact on Lighting Availability and Health Outcomes Among Rural Tanzanian Women: A Theoretical Framework

Renewable energy access policies have become a focal point in addressing disparities in rural areas of developing countries, including Tanzania. A mixed-methods approach will be employed, integrating qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis from existing surveys to explore the interplay between policy implementation and its beneficiaries' experiences. The theoretical framework underscores the importance of integrating renewable energy access into broader health and development policies to achieve sustainable improvements in rural areas. Policy makers should prioritise stakeholder involvement, continuous monitoring, and evidence-based decision-making to ensure effective implementation and impact evaluation of renewable energy access initiatives.
