As part of UCCEE's programme on power sector restructuring in developing countries, the reform experiences in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) were analysed through country studies in Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.

The case studies were presented and discussed at a workshop held in Ghana in November 1997. The event was organised jointly with the African Energy Policy Research Network (AFREPREN).

The book Power Sector Reform in SubSaharan Africa has been written to present the case studies, a cross-country comparison of the national experiences, and public policy implications for countries in the region considering reforming their power sectors.
