Introduction
The subsequent analysis of the role of energy in employment impacts in each case was conducted within the context of the preliminary conceptual framework. However, the framework was itself also updated and improved on the basis of the emerging evidence from the cases, as presented in Chapter 2. Analysis of the case studies using the final conceptual framework is presented in Chapter 3, while the full text of the case studies is provided in the Annex. In Chapter 4, Conclusions and Recommendations, the barriers and drivers cited in each case are brought together and analysed for commonalities and variations among contexts, technologies and sectors. In particular, relevant policy, regulatory, financing, infrastructure, capacity, informational and cultural constraints to scaling up of decentralized and renewable energy solutions were assessed. Recommendations were then derived from the above data collection, conceptual framework and analysis of drivers and barriers. These recommendations address how modern energy access can be maximized and how such access can most affect employment and development.
