A study of the African power sector, co-sponsored by ECA and UNEP and presented at a stakeholders meeting in Addis Ababa, said that reforms in Africa had not resulted in sustainability of the sector in Africa. The study, "Making the African Power Sector Sustainable" says the lack of sustainability is because power sector reforms in Africa were primarily designed to bridge short term generation shortfalls and enhance the financial health of state-owned power utilities.
