Description/achievement of initiative

Power for All (www.powerforall.org) is a coalition of 200 public and private organizations (companies, CSOs, financial institutions, research bodies, trade associtions, etc) campaigning to deliver universal electricity access before 2030 through accelerated deployment of distributed renewable energy solutions.
