The rationale behind the report was the following:

• Data on Health Facility Electrification (HFE) is sparse, outdated, and/or stored in multiple locations
• There is limited coordination between energy and health sector actors (e.g. on medical appliances or HFE investments)
• There is a lot of duplication happening across multiple interventions (e.g. needs assessment tools, system design, research on medical appliances, testing sustainable delivery models).
