We supported 31 countries in 2023 in line with our Country Engagement Framework, 26 of which are Official Development Assistance (ODA)-recipient countries.
As our country partnerships continue to strengthen each year, these 31 countries represent most of the total country partnerships established throughout the business cycle. The 26 ODA-recipient countries make up a large share of the gap to achieve SDG7. Collectively, they are home to more than half (53 percent) of the global population without access to electricity and represent 49 percent of the population without access to clean cooking fuels and technologies. Of the 26 countries supported in 2023, 14 are in Africa, seven are in Asia, three are in Latin America and the Caribbean and two are in Oceania. Combined, these countries have an average renewable energy share of 59 percent as part of their total energy consumption and contribute to 17 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.
