The objective of this study is to gain an overview of current nonenergy projects with rural electrification components in LCR. The research included compiling a list of projects, contact information, and issues regarding the integration of rural electrification and other services and interviewing the relevant task managers. This report provides an overview of what effects are expected theoretically to happen, and what the initial actual findings in the identified projects were. This review is provided to help decide whether to conduct a more detailed investigation and which issues to focus on. The ultimate objective is to design more effective rural electrification projects integrated with other sector operations. To design more effective rural electrification projects integrated with other sector operations effectiveness needs to be defined. Assuming that the ultimate goal is poverty reduction, the link between electricity and income-generating activities needs to be analyzed. Effectiveness will then be measured according to the project's impact on poverty and improvement in living standards. Linked to the effectiveness objective is the issue of sustainability.
