1. INTRODUCTION
Project Background
The Electricity of Mozambique EP (EDM), a state-owned company and Mozambique electric utility, has requested
assistance from the Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) of the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID), and an Initiative of Power Africa to support the implementation of the National Electrification
Strategy through the establishment of a Management Unit, more specifically referred to hereafter as the
“Electrification Management Unit” (EMU) Project.
This project aims to complement the electrification program that EDM is undertaking with the World Bank Group
and other development partners, called the “Mozambique ‘Energia para Todos’ (ProEnergia) Project”, which will
support EDM in achieving its electrification plans by providing financing for equipment and materials and technical
assistance to improve EDM's operational capabilities in areas such as engineering, installation services, storage, design
and work supervision.
SAEP is working with EDM to provide technical assistance in establishing an Electrification Management Unit (“EMU”
or “EMU Assistance”), which will enable EDM to implement its electrification targets of 300,000 to 500,000
connections per year as set by the National Electrification Strategy (NES), aiming for EDM’s goal of 100% energy
access by 2030.
SAEP’s Support to EDM EMU
The overall objective of SAEP’s support to EDM is the assessment, development, operationalization, financing, and
procurement of the EMU. The EMU’s purpose is to ensure that the overall electrification program is well managed,
planned and implemented with cost efficiency and sustainability. To achieve this, it is expected that EDM's EMU, after
completion of SAEP assistance, will be able to:
• Address the lack of all-embracing and coordinated planning for electrification projects
• Professionalize its program management capabilities, which will be EDM's largest program involving
numerous stakeholders and large amounts of funds to manage over several years
• Implement effective controls and tools for planning / management and ensure effective tracking, monitoring
and reporting solutions.
To achieve these objectives, SAEP assistance to EDM EMU follows this task outline:
• Task 1: Assessment of the current electrification management capabilities and develop a proposed structure
for EMU
• Task 2: Formulation and process design for EMU
• Task 3: Operationalization of EMU
• Task 4: Auditing to the quality of implementation / sustainability
SAEP started with a gap assessment of EDM electrification management and operational capabilities during Task 1,
presented in an Inception Report, which also included the pre-design and requirements to set up an EMU at EDM.
The EDM Electrification Board Sponsor and the Electrification Director approved the Inception Report and validated
the EMU pre-design.
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 2
Purpose of EMU Handbooks
SAEP has developed a set of handbooks to guide the EMU as they develop. All three handbooks will be a useful
guideline for general management, in addition to specialist functional audiences.
EMU Handbook A for Electrification Planning and Execution
EMU Handbook B for Finance Planning and Execution
EMU Handbook C for Procurement Planning and Execution
Each handbook (A, B, C) contains the following sections, with section 4 and 5 varying across functional areas:
Section 1: Introduction (i.e. background, purpose, challenges)
Section 2: Operating Model for Electrification
Section 3: Architecture of Electrification
Section 4: Planning and Execution, specific to Handbook A: Electrification, B: Finance, C: Procurement
Section 5: Annexes specific to Handbook A: Electrification, B: Finance, C: Procurement
Purpose of EMU Handbook A – Electrification Planning and Execution
Handbook A presents the operational model proposed by SAEP team for the Electrification and operationalization
of EMU, resulting from the joint work done with the ProEnergia management team and stakeholders of the various
organizational areas with responsibilities for the execution of electrification processes. The SAEP team defined the
operating model for electrification considering the limitations of EDM's existing systems and tools, namely in the
areas of distribution system planning and finance. In the finance area, there is no system module for project budgeting,
control of investments and costs with electrification and its impact on EDM's accounts and its sustainability.
Accordingly, the SAEP team chose to develop customized excel-based tools to be introduced into the processes to
ensure the structuring of information that will allow the monitoring and evaluation of the electrification processes.
Another important aspect to note is that the monitoring and control of electrification at EDM will involve, on one
hand, the centrally structured electrification projects (in coordination with distribution and managed by DES) and,
on another hand, the electrification activities planned and executed by the Delegations, using their own budgets.
Consequently, the electrification planning and execution processes, as well as the EMU monitoring procedures, are
different for the electrification projects and the electrification activities run by the Delegations. In the operating
model described in this document, the SAEP team explains these differences and specific management requirements.
The annex of this Handbook A also contains specific information on electrification process:
• Annex 1: Processes and Tools Expanded (PR-P&E 1-4, and PR-EXE. 1-3)
• Annex 2: Process Flowcharts (full page) (PR-P&E 1-4, and PR-EXE. 1-3)
• Annex 3: Details of the World Bank “ProEnergia” project
“Energia Para Todos” Program and Electrification Strategy
Despite progress since Mozambique's independence in 1975, where the electrification rate was 3%, the Mozambique
national average electrification rate was still low at 28% in 2017. The figure below illustrates access to electricity in
Mozambique by region.
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 3
Figure 1. Electrification context in Mozambique, energy access rate (2019)

EDM's current Board of Directors has revised the 2017 Strategic Plan and defined one of the 3 strategic objectives
“ensuring universal energy access for Mozambican citizens by 2030”. This objective has been validated and
incorporated into MIREME's Electricity sector plans. Given its critical contribution to the success of the Government
of Mozambique’s goal of promoting national poverty reduction, by mid-2019 the Government decided that the
objective of promoting access to energy would be subject to regular monitoring by the Council of Ministers.
Moreover, the President of the Republic of Mozambique launched a national program called “Energia para Todos”
which will be implemented under the National Electrification Strategy. The main objective of the program is to
increase access to electricity in the country to achieve universal access by 2030.
Energia para Todos provides a framework to accelerate universal access in Mozambique, focusing EDM on two main
initiatives to be implemented on-grid, from 150,000 connections to 400,000 new connections per year progressively,
and to achieve universal access by the end of 2030:
• Densification: consists of connecting all possible domestic customers located in an area served by the
Low Voltage (LV) distribution network (urban areas and district buildings).
• Extension of the national electricity grid: consists of the extension of the national electricity grid to
rural areas with relatively low population density and potential for productive energy use. For this extension,
an appropriate balance between on-grid and off-grid is required, considering the social aspects and political
priorities for the country's development.

Figure 3. Extension area Figure 2. Densification area

The program also incorporates off-grid initiatives to be implemented, namely:
• Domestic solar systems (DSS, translated from Portuguese ‘SSD’): provide, based on each
household's demand, different models of DSS; This initiative is the lowest cost for rural areas where density
is very low.
• Mini-Grids: Provide centralized generation and implementation of a LV grid that must be powered by
Wind Energy, with the possibility of selling the residual energy through the National Electricity Grid. This
initiative will be implemented in high density rural areas such as villages, administrative posts, etc.
The program was launched by the President of the Government of Mozambique to demonstrate the government's
level of commitment to achieving universal access by 2030. The program implementer will be the Electricity of
Mozambique EP (EDM) and the Energy Fund (FUNAE), in coordination with the Ministry of Mineral Resources and
Energy (MIREME) and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF).
Approved Electrification Strategy Overview
After revising its Strategic Plan and objectives, EDM, as a national energy utility, took the lead role in implementing
the Government of Mozambique (GoM) efforts to expand access to electricity. In particular, EDM made ambitious
investment plans for the extension of the electricity grid and has committed itself to promoting and increasing the
levels of connections to achieve the GoM and EDM target of 100% electricity access by the population by 2030.
On 16 October 2018, the GoM approved the National Electrification Strategy to be implemented between 2018 and
2030. This document was approved as the tool to consider facilitating, aligning and coordinating all electrification
efforts and contains institutional, technical and financial guidance with a new approach to achieving universal access
by 2030.
The strategy introduces a new approach that defines two areas:
• Mandatory Service Zone (MSZ translated from Portuguese ‘OSA’): Considers the zone adjacent
to Low Voltage (LV) lines at up to 100 meters. Within this zone, EDM shall be required to connect to the
network any customer requesting services.
• Non-Mandatory Service Zone (Non-MSZ or Non-OSA): Considers the remaining non-OSA
territory. In this area, EDM has no obligation to respond to any potential customer connection requests,
and this investment will only be made if EDM has external funds or tariff revenues.
Figure 4. Scheme of Mandatory and Non-Mandatory Service Areas
Source: EDM, National Electrification Strategy
The basis of the strategy are the three pillars that define all the necessary elements for the strategy implementation:
i) Financial, ii) Institutional and iii) Technical. Regarding the Financial Pillar, the main element is the creation of an
Electrification Account (EC) to fund projects within the Non-Mandatory Bidding Zone. This account must have the
following financial sources:
• Electricity Consumers: through a connection fee and an electrification cost (projected to become the largest
source of funding when the access rate is above 60-70%);
• IFIs (International Financing Investors) and other development partners: through soft loans and grants;
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 5
• The GoM through loans.
For MSZ/ OSAs, EDM, with the support of the Government, development partners and tariff revenues, will fund
new connections in these areas.
The Institutional Pillar defines the roles and responsibilities of each institution that may be involved in electrification,
including the Government of Mozambique, EDM, FUNAE and the sector regulator, ARENE. Another key element of
this pillar is the recommendation to establish and maintain a systematic planning process for expanding access to
electricity service, with well-defined short-term results.
Electrification Access Projections
Implementing a national electrification strategy will require an average of 373,000 new connections per year, with
4,540,000 new customers in total for universal access by 2030. The strategy recommends a progressive increase in
the number of new on-grid connections from 135,000 in 2018 to 300,000 in 2020, and 450,000 in 2025, moment
from which the number of new connections should become constant.
To achieve universal access, the number of EDM customers will increase fivefold, which will have significant impacts
and will require internal restructuring in terms of management, operations, logistics, technical support, systems, etc.,
in order to respond to customer volume 5 times higher than in the past.
The chart below shows projections for a base case scenario for new connections to Mandatory Offer Zones (OSA)
and Non-Mandatory Offer Zones (non-OSA):
Graph 1. Projections for a base scenario of new connections to OSAs and non-OSAs
Source: EDM, National Electrification Strategy
70% of the population is expected to be connected to the grid while 30% will be connected to off-grid power
solutions. In order to meet the NES connection targets, it will require $ 540 million annually, and an estimated
investment of $ 6 billion by 2030.
Challenges and Opportunities for EDM
EDM has a strategic objective to promote access to energy for the entire population by 2030, and has developed a
National Electrification Strategy Plan that sets out the fundamental principles, prioritization criteria, technology
solutions, financial mechanisms and roadmap for Implementation. The plan presents a framework for accelerating
access to electricity in Mozambique with a focus on two main on-grid initiatives that progressively aim to increase
from 150,000 to 400,000 new connections per year: (i) intensify connection in densification zones, and ii) extend the
national electricity grid to rural areas with relevant population density.

This commitment was recognized by development partners, resulting in an agreement to support EDM and FUNAE
through a 5-year World Bank Project called ProEnergia, funded by IDA and a ‘Multi donors trust fund’ (MDTF). This
project, which will provide technical assistance and operational capacity, is expected to result in 289,000 new home
electricity connections (via the grid, stand-alone mini grids and SHS) and will benefit 1.45 million people (representing
almost 5% of the population).
Recent events associated with two cyclones followed by heavy and flooding rains that have affected large areas of
the Central and Northern regions and caused significant destruction of the national power grid in an area where
energy access levels were already at their lowest in the country, represent a challenge for the sector as a whole, and
for the Government to achieve ENE's objectives. But they also provide an opportunity for EDM to plan its
electrification projects and establish operational plans to expand access to electricity.

Establishing an Electrification Operating Model Centrally Coordinated
by an EMU
To manage an electrification program with such a wide geographical reach and such ambitious growth in annual
connections compared to recent years, EDM will have to strengthen its planning and execution capacities, particularly
in relation to demand forecasting, characterization of densification and extension areas in all delegations, planning
and prioritization of electrification projects, programming needs of technical and material resources, provisioning of
funding, and the monitoring and management of projects and financial execution in an integrated portfolio approach.
This planning and execution will require reviewing and updating EDM's planning and operation procedures in areas
such as Engineering and Planning (centrally and locally), Budgeting and Finance Management, Materials and Equipment
Procurement, Logistics, Construction Scheduling and Technical Operations Execution.
Until now, EDM has focused on planning and executing projects that strengthen electricity supply and transmission
capacity, and that modernize and upgrade the national distribution network to achieve full coverage in all provinces.
The planning was fundamentally driven by the Master Plan of the Energy System and projects were implemented
using Finance + EPC contractual models. EDM's operations were limited to work supervision and the implementation
of technical solutions performed by subcontractors.
With the new electrification strategy, a specific Electrification Operations Plan should indicate areas where EDM will
have to make investments in electrification and home connections, complemented by off-grid solutions where
connections to the national electricity grid are not economically viable. This will involve a broad portfolio of smaller
projects spread across the country, based on cost-based engineering and project execution solutions as determined
by the criteria defined in NES. Instead of the EPC contractual model, EDM will complement project execution and
connections by Delegations with selectively contracted subcontractors to reinforce operational capacity.
World Bank assistance is already supporting EDM in improving standards and setting new project implementation
guidelines that facilitate project structuring and ensure the rational use of scarce financial resources. A new
procurement strategy is being implemented to take advantage of economies of scale in the procurement of materials
and equipment for the Electrification Program, as well as the logistics infrastructure and management procedures to
be adopted which have been redefined to ensure control and efficient delivery of materials to all projects.
Although these initiatives have been planned and are being implemented under the Electrification Program, most of
them are currently being coordinated by the recently established Project Implementation Unit at EDM dedicated to
the World Bank assisted ProEnergia project. The EMU’s design and establishment will be fundamental to plan to
achieve the connection objectives set out in NES, particularly for distribution network developments, connection
solutions, engineering, procurement, budgeting, and financial portfolio planning for the next three to five years.

2. OPERATING MODEL FOR
ELECTRIFICATION The SAEP team identified a set of critical requirements that should be addressed jointly with the Electrification team
and EDM Board of Directors to create favourable conditions for the start-up and operation of the new Electrification
Program operating and management model described in this document:
• Approval by EDM Board of Directors of the electrification management team with the role of supervision,
monitoring and evaluation of the Electrification Program, formalization of the roles and responsibilities of
each team manager and communication of the EMU Mandate to the operational areas involved in the
execution of the electrification processes
• Hold an official start-up session of EMU's operation with internal and external stakeholders
• Ensure that the electrification operational areas nominate people accountable for the electrification
processes, in the Planning, Distribution, Delegations, Finance, and Procurement and Logistics functional
areas
• Approve and operationalize the Electrification Steering Committee, to promote on-boarding and to train
its members in the rules of organization and operation of the Committee
• Approve the inclusion of the Electrification Plans and Monthly Management Report in the Electrification
Program Governance Model
• Enable the acquisition of a Knowledge Management platform
Once these conditions are met, the SAEP team is confident that EMU's management team and the EDM organizational
areas involved in electrification will be able to effectively coordinate the planning and execution of electrification
projects, their monitoring, evaluation and continuous improvement, in order to meet the objectives of the
electrification Plan.
The SAEP team has structured an operating model to support the management of the Electrification Program, which
is set out below in three focus areas:
i. Model of Electrification Governance
ii. Organizational and Management Systems
iii. Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Model
The first focus area of the Operating Model (Governance System) was introduced to ensure the existence of high-
quality information, clear plans and governance rules that will guide investments and enable effective decision-making
and stakeholder management.
The second focus area (Organizational and Management Systems) brings together a set of instruments and the
definition of roles and responsibilities of the organizational areas involved in electrification, to ensure the ability to
monitor and evaluate the progress and results of the electrification processes.
The third focus area aims at structuring all electrification-related processes, covering all cycle from planning, to
projects definition, programming and execution. Disciplining and ensuring effectiveness of these processes is critical
to good “execution” of the Electrification Program.
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 8
Model of Electrification Governance
SAEP recommends the implementation of an electrification governance model in which responsibilities and decision-
making power are organized between the various stakeholders at 3 levels (see illustration in the figure below):
• 1st level - Strategic orientation and decision
• 2nd level - Management and decision support
• 3rd level - Coordination, monitoring and evaluation
Figure 5. Decision levels in the Electrification Governance Model
Source: SAEP Team
At the 1st level, it is up to the National Energy Directorate, a member of the Ministry of Mineral Resources and
Energy and a public entity responsible for conducting the “Energia para Todos” Government Program, to establish
the strategic vision, guiding principles, objectives and goals and to refer them to EDM. and FUNAE, as entities
performing the electrification.
EDM's Board of Directors is responsible for deciding on the Electrification Plans prepared internally, submitting them
for final approval by MIREME / National Directorate of Energy. Any substantial revisions to the Electrification Plans,
objectives or targets should respect these decision-making powers.
At the 2nd level, Management and decision support will be provided by two bodies: (i) the MIREME Electrification
Committee, and (ii) the EDM Electrification Committee.
The MIREME Electrification Committee is responsible for approving and approving EDM and FUNAE's electrification
proposals and plans. Being responsible for ensuring compliance with the Government's National Electrification
Strategy and the “Energia para Todos” Program, as well as assessing whether the plans allow them to meet their
assumed electrification targets and reporting their compliance to the Government, will assess the application of the
criteria for prioritizing projects, the selection of optimal and rational electrification and financing solutions, as well
as defining responsibility for their implementation between EDM, FUNAE or joint.
The Committee, currently not yet operational, according to NES, will include representatives from MIREME, Ministry
of Economy and Finance, EDM, FUNAE, financing and development partners, among others.
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 9
For the purpose of reporting to the Government on the status and progress of the Electrification Program, the
Committee shall provide information to the National Directorate of Energy, which leads and coordinates the
Program. It may also, when necessary, interact with the EDM Electrification Committee to obtain relevant
information or streamline decision-making processes.
EDM's Electrification Committee is a new governance body to be set up under the Electrification Program, supporting
and reporting directly to the Board of Directors (CA), with a role of supervising, monitoring and reporting to the
CA on status, progress, results and risks in meeting the goals of the “Energia para Todos” Program.
In general terms, it will be up to this Committee to evaluate the quality of the Electrification Plans and to continually
evaluate the effectiveness of their implementation, to give the CA a critical view and enable it to intervene and make
corrective or improvement decisions. Its composition and operation shall be governed by the following rules:
• The CA permanent members should include the CA Executive Director responsible for the Electrification
Program, the EMU Director, the 3 EMU Expert Managers, the ProEnergia Manager, the DGD and the DES
and DPSE Directors.
• An extended version of the Committee may additionally include the DPFO Directors, DAL, the Director
of Public Relations and Communication, the DGC, the Regional Directors and the Delegates. And any of
those responsible may be invited to attend Committee meetings as required by their agenda.
• The Chairperson of the Committee shall be appointed by the Chairperson of the Board, who shall be
responsible for ensuring that the Board functions effectively, reporting the results of meetings to the Board
and the EMU, and submitting to the Board any electrification plans that require its approval accompanied
by their opinions.
• SAEP recommends that the Committee meet at least quarterly, although it should be convened
extraordinarily whenever critical issues impacting the Electrification Program arise or there is a need to
approve electrification plans.
• It is EMU's responsibility to submit proposals for electrification plans for consideration and opinion, as well
as management reports for the Committee's knowledge.
• It is desirable that the votes of the Committee allow unanimous decisions, however, if this is not possible
it should be decided based on the majority vote criterion, and the Chairman of the Committee is entitled
to a tie-breaking vote.
At the 3rd level, of a more operational scope, it is the EMU’s responsibility to ensure the coordination between
the areas that perform the electrification processes, including Planning and Engineering, Distribution and Delegations,
Commercial, Financial and Procurement and Logistics.
To this end, it will ensure that these areas carry out the electrification processes in a disciplined manner and in
accordance with the procedures and standards that the SAEP team, together with the ProEnergia team have defined,
which are contained in this Handbook. And it will implement a set of tools to monitor the quality and risks in these
processes as well as to evaluate the progress of the Electrification Program and its results, which are described in
the next section of this document. In this context, it will be up to EMU to continually assess the suitability and
continually improve the electrification planning and execution processes. These include reports and periodic
management meetings, as well as structured plans that will guide the action of all stakeholders in the processes.

STAKEHOLDERS MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION
Successful and successful implementation of the Electrification Program requires the input and active participation of
numerous stakeholders. Not only must EDM mobilize required funds itself, it must also implement electrification
solutions regardless of the Government's priorities and solutions that FUNAE will implement in areas where on-grid
solutions are not economically rational, or mobilize companies in the sector to qualify and communities to organize
for participation in the Program to facilitate connections.
• Inform stakeholders about the objectives, solutions and benefits of population electrification and access to
energy, as well as business opportunities in the energy sector value chain (awareness);
• Provide clear information and explain the electrification plans and projects that EDM has planned or is
already preparing, including volumes of funds available and planned to be allocated to the Electrification
Program, fostering knowledge inclusion and participation;
• Inform stakeholders of the progress, results and impacts of feedback plans and projects.
However, before designing a management plan that effectively addresses these needs, it is necessary to understand
which are the relevant stakeholders and the type of communication events and actions that are most appropriate,
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 11
which is summarized in the table below. This should therefore be the benchmark of the stakeholder management
plan to be planned and implemented.

EMU should validate this plan and prepare an investment budget for its implementation, working in conjunction with
the Public Relations and Communication Directorate and the Delegations. Once a plan and budget have been agreed
upon, it must be submitted to the Administration and submitted for consideration and approval.
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 12
Regardless of the internal and external resources that EDM can devote to the preparation and programming of the
communication actions and events listed in the plan above, you can quickly move forward with those identified as
short term (up to 3 months).
Where they require structured information and approval, such as Electrification Plans, EMU should consider
preparing initial versions considering only the scope of the ongoing ProEnergia project and broadening its content
base as it works with its planning work areas already have improved plans.
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND ACCESS TO INFORMATION
Since EMU will supervise electrification processes generating data in supporting tools and systems, and critical
information in documentary form, the EMU must manage all this information and related plans and projects.
To this end, the EMU needs to be equipped with Knowledge Management capabilities. This capability should support
decision making, and information should be easily accessible and readily available. One of EMU's responsibilities will
be to provide timely and valuable information about the Electrification program to internal and external stakeholders
and will have to manage the quantity and quality of accessible information and consolidate it efficiently.
Currently, the most effective way for organizations in similar contexts to store and manage information is through
structured data rooms. The SAEP team has indicated to the Directorate of Information and Communication
Technologies (DTIC) the functional requirements for a proper Knowledge Management solution to manage the
needs of the Electrification Program.
Even though EDM does not have a structured and centralized data room to date, DTIC has assessed whether a
solution under development with the EDM Academy for project management could provide an answer. However,
after analysis, DTIC concluded and indicated that this tool does not meet the needs presented.
Once a knowledge management tool is evaluated and chosen, the DTIC must consult the ProEnergia team to initiate
the internal process of requesting the acquisition or access to use of a platform for the Project. Since DTIC does
not have this budgeted need, it will have to evaluate with the Operations Division (the acquiring internal entity) how
to allocate funds accordingly for the tool.
Overcoming this issue, DTIC indicated that it is possible that in a short time, it will begin preparing for the adoption
of the platform by working with EMU and the ProEnergia team. With the formal start-up of EMU's activity in the
second half of August of this year, DTIC sees it possible to start this work also during this period.
Organizational and Management Systems
EDM UNITS WITH ELECTRIFICATION RESPONSIBILITIES
The operation of an Electrification Program at EDM requires the involvement and participation of many bodies and
organizational areas, with clear roles and responsibilities. These can be classified in 4 levels:
1. Governance (administration);
2. Program Management;
3. Management of electrification operations;
4. Management of electrification support activities.
The Electrification Program is governed by a strategy defined in the document “National Electrification Strategy”
which defines objectives, principles and rules to prioritize the areas to electrify and decide on the most rational
solutions for providing energy to citizens. The Board of Directors (CA) is responsible for the strategic orientation,
as well as defining and agreeing with its Ministerial Guardianship the goals of electrification and access to energy. At
the Administration level, it is also incumbent upon the Operations Division to lead the implementation of the
Program and the Finance Division to mobilize and manage financing, also regulated in the “National Electrification
Strategy”, as well as the impacts and sustainability of electrification on EDM's accounts.
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 13
The Electrification Program Management responsibility is assigned to Eng. Joaquim Ou Chim, who leads an
implementation management team (PIU) dedicated to the World Bank ProEnergia Project. This is a cross-functional
EDM team with multidisciplinary functional skills, including planning, project management, procurement and financial
management, environmental and security management.
The effective performance of this role requires that the Program Management establishes two key instruments:
• Forecast Electrification Plan - this document will enable the Program Management to align with
EDM Board, Government and FUNAE on priorities and how to meet electrification targets and new
connections, as well as to preview potential partners and to the internal areas of project planning,
finance, procurement and operations of the level of effort and requirements to meet the targets. It is to
be prepared during the Planning Activity and Budget Cycle and to be part of the PAO.
• Electrification Projects and Activities Plan - this document aims to show which is the pipeline of
electrification projects and activities that EDM has in preparation, feasibility and programming, being in
constant evolution. This will facilitate the work of raising financial support for the Electrification
Program, reporting to the Administration and Government on progress in project preparation and
viability, as well as giving internal visibility on the projects being prioritized.
Regarding management of electrification operations, ambitious targets and responsibilities are set for the
implementation of new connections and their promotion to the communities to the General Commercial
Directorate (DGC) and the General Distribution Directorate (DGD). To this end, DGD together with the central
Planning Department (DPSE) must plan the electrification and network expansion activities as well as make
connections with its means and financial resources. DGD must oversee and support the electrification projects
which are managed by central DES project teams (but for the most part often performed by subcontractors). DGC
is required to ensure that the Delegations' business personnel are properly trained and prepared and effectively
carry out the customer contracting procedures, inspection and connection of the new clients to the network and
monitoring of consumption profiles and revenue generation.
The expected growth in the number of activities and electrification projects that EDM will launch simultaneously
throughout the country, and given the various departments involved, requires the structuring of a Portfolio of
Projects and Activities in execution and periodically report updated status information. Providing access to this
Portfolio to the above-mentioned departments will facilitate their participation and accountability in electrification
operations.
Finally, the design, feasibility, preparation and management of electrification projects involve a wide range of support
activities to be undertaken by multiple areas of the organization, with emphasis on:
• System Planning and Engineering Directorate (DPSE) - in addition to studying and planning
electrical expansion or reinforcement activities in an integrated manner, structuring the electrification
projects. This work should be carried out in coordination and involving central distribution planning as
well as the respective delegations.
• Financial areas - The Financial Planning and Budget Directorate (DPFO) can be held responsible for the
study of impacts and sustainability of the Electrification Program, fundraising, financial project allocation /
programming, and management of financing contracts, and the Treasury Directorate, managing
disbursements and payments.
• Procurement and Logistics (DAL) - is responsible for ensuring consolidated planning of materials and
equipment procurement needs, monitoring their execution by project teams, and ensuring effective
operational policies and capabilities in procurement management, supply management and procurement
management contracts.
• Social Energy Directorate (DES), also known as the EDM central projects management unit - is
responsible for managing the electrification projects (excluding the electrification activities that delegations
perform autonomously), with qualified teams and structured processes. Project execution management
requires coordination with Finance, DAL, Delegations and DPSE to ensure compliance with programming,
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 14
financial and procurement plans and to ensure network conditions and availability of operational
resources.
EMU STRUCTURE AND RESOURCES
Given the large number of organizational areas involved in the Electrification Program, the complexity of roles and
responsibilities, and the need for coordination and articulation in its action, EDM decided to reinforce the
electrification management team and mandate it to act as a Central Electrification Management Unit (EMU). EMU's
mission is to ensure the successful implementation of the National Electrification Strategy across departments,
coordinating as a delivery unit and through the efficient allocation of resources needed to promote grid connections,
contributing to the goal of universal access to energy that the Government has assumed as a priority.
Accordingly, the EMU should focus on supervisory and monitoring functions and have minimal implementation
responsibilities in electrification processes, so that its role adds value and is effective.
Success in performing this mission can be judged by the following performance criteria:
• Ability to mobilize funds and other support for the Electrification Program;
• Rate of access of the population to electricity;
• Balanced implementation plan for electrification and connection promotion in the country;
• Cost efficiency of electrification and investments in connections;
• Speed of execution of new projects and connections;
• Improved electrification planning and execution capabilities in EDM's business and support areas.
Having EDM approved a few months ago the establishment of an implementation management team for the
ProEnergia Program reporting to the Operations Directorate, it has decided to maintain this solution for the overall
Electrification Program Coordination unit – the EMU (see illustration below).
Figure 6. EMU Positioning in EDM Organizational Structure

The structure of the EMU management team, illustrated in the following figure, integrates a Program Director role
to whom the following management functions report:
• ProEnergia Project Manager - has responsibility for planning and monitoring Electrification
implementation, the relation with Financiers and with respect to the tasks assigned to the ProEnergia
Project Implementation Unit (PIU);
• Planning and Engineering Manager (GPE) - has the responsibility to monitor and evaluate the quality
of the Delegations and Central Forecast Connections Planning work (DPSE in conjunction with DGD),
related to the electrification projects, and promotion of connections to be executed by EDM;
• Projects Portfolio and Results Manager (GPPR) - has the responsibility to monitor and evaluate
the quality of the project's technical and financial feasibility work and the execution of the project program

and electrification activities, assessing impacts and results and reporting to all internal and external
Stakeholders;
• Operations, Procurement and Logistics Manager (GOPL) - has the responsibility of monitoring
the work of Delegations and contractors of electrification projects, ensuring the verification of contracted
works and connections made, the existence of operational or financial problems or constraints to the
compliance with project plans and their efficiency, and contribute to their prompt resolution.
These three managers, who will be added to the existing electrification team as well as the Project Manager, will
have a senior and expert profile, should ensure the coordination and articulation of the various EDM internal and
external stakeholders in the execution of electrification processes.

• Be the keeper of up-to-date systematic and structured performance information and reports for the
Electrification Program. Support and advise the EMU Director in responding to update and reporting
requests from internal and external stakeholders.
• Ensure a dialogue with potential financial donors and sector development partners to maximize the
allocation of funds for prioritized electrification and connection investment projects.
• Support the Department of Finance, Regional Divisions, and Delegations/ Departments of Finance in
effectively planning the electrification program's financial needs.

• Promote the effective implementation of the Electrification Account and timely decision on the financial
allocation of the fund managed by the WBG within the ProEnergia project, in accordance with the approved
Procurement Plan.
• Maintain a consolidated and up-to-date plan and progress status for prioritized electrification and
connection investment projects.
• Be the focal point for all interactions and relationship management with Electrification's internal and external
stakeholders. Above all, advise and support the EMU Director.
• Ensure regular contacts with donors and development partners, with EDM sectoral partners such as
MIREME and FUNAE, and with key implementation “partners” such as EDM Regional Divisions and
Delegations and local communities to ensure the motivations, expectations, level of participation and
satisfaction with the Program goals, plans and results that have been achieved.
• Promote seminars and manage press releases to keep all stakeholders and society informed of the plans
and progress of the Electrification and Connections Program.
• Report on program risks and problems and propose mitigation actions to address these risks and monitor
progress to ensure that the goals set are being met across projects.
• Ensure that all information about the program is well structured and is stored in a repository that allows
authorized people to collaborate and share knowledge between different electrification projects and
programs.
Operations, Procurement and Logistics Manager
• Supervise the execution of all planned electrification and connection projects regardless of whether they
have been centrally structured and funded or approved and funded by Delegations to ensure that the
operations of both subcontractors and Delegations receive the materials and equipment necessary to
perform the scope of services approved for each project (timely and in compliance with specified quality
standards).
• Support Delegations in anticipating implementation constraints related to operational resources and
subcontractors' ability to execute on materials and equipment, identify mitigation plans and accelerate
decision-making to overcome them.
• Monitor the execution of Procurement and Logistics solutions / reengineering agreed with the ProEnergia
Project WBG, and regularly report whether implementation plans and solutions are being ensured and
consolidated by EDM operations.
• Evaluate and report on the level of control and management quality of EDM's Central Procurement and
Logistics Directorate and Electrification Project Managers to assure donors and development partners that
funds are being properly applied.
• Monitor the implementation of Project Procurement Plans agreed with development partners such as WBG
and AfDB, ensuring that project teams comply with donors and development partners Procurement
Procedures
• Ensure timely reporting and ensure that EDM Project Managers comply with Project Management Reporting
and Monitoring procedures and requirements from donors and development partners such as WBG and
AfDB.
• Monitor consolidated Electrification procurement plan and ensure that targets are met.
• Perform supplier-related contract management activities for electrification programs.
Due to the near-term expected growth of the Electrification Program, the SAEP Team anticipates the need to revise
this structure, notably reinforcing support functions, such as stakeholder and communication management. The
Inception Report that the SAEP team prepared at the end of EMU Assistance Task I indicates the desirable structure
to be consolidated in EMU in the future after an initial set-up phase (see Figure 8 below).
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 17
Figure 8. Proposed EMU Structure
Source: SAEP
This future structure considers three key Management Areas that can be equivalent to Departments, to be led
by Senior Functional Experts: i) Electrification Planning (EP), ii) Electrification Portfolio Management (EPM), and iii)
Electrification Execution Management (EEM). The rationale of this structure is that managing the Electrification
challenge requires three distinct capabilities:
• Work at “local level” to collect information, assess and propose/validate decisions on where to
promote electrification and connection investments (forecast planning of electrification areas,
investments required and target connections).
• Structure and implement a portfolio approach. Managing the Electrification Program involves taking
decisions on where to prioritize, allocate resources and combine the intervention of a multiple set of
projects and implementing entities, including maximizing financial and operational synergies. This can only
be effective if planning and decisions are taken, as well as implementation monitoring, based on structured
information for a portfolio of investments and projects.
• There is a crucial execution component of projects and investments that require operational knowledge
and execution management expertise.
Both the EPM and the EEM functions require specialized staff teams, covering the functional areas of Planning &
Engineering, Finance Management, Operations Supervision, Procurement & Logistics Supervision and Budget
Execution Supervision.
In addition, the recommended organizational structure also considers two support staff functions to the EMU
Director responsible for cross functional processes, namely:
• Stakeholders & Communication Management – the Electrification Program will require providing data,
reporting and involving groups of stakeholders from the Government, the Ministry MIREME, Development
Partners, Funders, Private Sector Community, Regional and Local Public Authorities, Local Communities
and EDM Regional Divisions and Local Delegations, which will play a crucial role in executing the
electrification program investments and projects.

• Performance Control & Reporting – a major program like “Energia para Todos” with ambitious and
complex targets and objectives that will mobilize significant amounts of funding and investment projects,
requires structured performance control and reporting mechanisms, providing information to all external
and internal stakeholders regularly. A particularly important responsibility of this unit must be to
implement effective knowledge management tools and procedures ensuring availability, quality and
integrity of information.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Model
SAEP has structured a Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting model to be implemented for the Electrification Program
consisting of three sets of complementary management tools:
• Structured elements of management information;
• Internal control and risk management routines;
• Electrification management meetings.
The figure below illustrates the elements that make up each of these sets of instruments, which are described in the
following three sections to guide EMU in its operation.
Figure 9. Overview of the Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Model Structure
I. Structured Information Management Elements
This section describes the various instruments to be implemented by EMU to provide management of data sources
and information elements that will support:
• decision-making in electrification processes
• forward planning of areas to be electrified prioritization and programming of projects
Electrification Databases
SAEP proposes that the full set of five structured electrification databases be created
and managed in Google's G Suite collaborative toolkit that EDM already uses. This way
it is possible to share and use it simultaneously by several EDM operational and
management areas, controlling its integrity, access, and its feeding.
1) Database of priority areas to be electrified in Delegations (Forecast)
2) Database of priority projects to be feasible and executed (Project pipeline)
3) Database of electrification activities programmed by Delegations (Activity Pipeline)
4) Database of electrification projects under execution (Project Portfolio)

Electrification Databases
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 19
All the following databases were developed together with the current EDM Electrification Team (the ProEnergia PIU
Team) and with the inputs and validation by EDM Departments involved in the planning and execution of
electrification activities.
1) Database of priority areas to be electrified in Delegations (forecast)
This database aims to organize the necessary information for Delegations to prioritize and substantiate
the areas to be electrified, potential connections, solutions to be implemented and the necessary
resources and investments, either to make the connections or to reinforce the electricity system in order
to avoid future constraints on supplying quality energy.
These information elements will be used for the preparation of the Electrification Forecast Plan (described
in this section), which should be included in the Annual Activity and Budget Plan (PAO).
Responsibility for the maintenance and quality of the information contained in the database will lie with
the Directorate General for Distribution (DGD). Their feeding is continuous as the delegation planning
areas collect data and characterize the areas to be electrified.
The database contains the following sections of information:
• New call execution history
• Forecast survey of new calls for ProEnergia 2019-24
• Data collection for the 2020 to 2022 forecast cycle
• Potential call survey monitoring
The following illustrates the database that was structured by the SAEP team in conjunction with the
ProEnergia EDM team.
Figure 10. Database model of priority areas to be electrified in Delegations (forecast)
Source: SAEP Team, ProEnergia EDM Team
2) Database of priority projects to be feasible and executed (Project pipeline)
This database aims to organize the information elements that characterize the projects that DGD,
together with DES, are prioritizing, structuring, evaluating their technical and economic and financial
viability and making them financially viable. To this end, it covers the entire management cycle from the
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 20
decision to initiate the study / design of a project to its feasibility and approval by the EDM Electrification
and Administration Committee and the positive opinion of MIREME
It is therefore an Electrification Project Pipeline, which will allow EDM to draw up an Electrification Project
and Activities Plan (described in this section).
Responsibility for maintaining and quality of the information contained in the database will be shared
between the Directorate General for Distribution (DGD) and the Directorate of Social Energy (DES). It
should be fed / updated at least monthly so that the Electrification Project and Activities Plan reliably
conveys the pipeline in which EDM is working to enable electrification.
The database contains the following sections of information:
• Characterization of electrification projects
• Control of the structuring and decision cycle
The following illustrates the database that was structured by the SAEP team in conjunction with the
ProEnergia EDM team.
Figure 11. Priority projects database model to be feasible and executed (Project pipeline)
Source: SAEP Team, ProEnergia EDM Team
3) Database of electrification activities programmed by Delegations (Activity Pipeline)
This database aims to organize the information elements that characterize the electrification activities that
the DGD, together with the Delegations, are prioritizing and structuring, and whose funding and feasibility
is their responsibility. To this end, it covers the entire management cycle from the decision to start the
study / design of an activity to its feasibility and approval by the DGD. These electrification activities are
usually small, since when they involve large investments or are of high technical complexity, DES is
responsible for structuring and enabling them, in coordination with the Delegations.
It is therefore a Pipeline of Electrification Activities that will add to the Electrification Project and Activities
Plan (described in this section).
Responsibility for the maintenance and quality of the information contained in the database will lie with
the Directorate General for Distribution (DGD). It should be fed / updated at least monthly so that the
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 21
Electrification Project and Activities Plan reliably conveys the pipeline in which EDM is working to enable
electrification.
The database contains the following sections of information:
• Characterization of electrification activities
• Control of the structuring and decision cycle
The database structure follows the same structure as the Project structure, but will be implemented
separately as there will be individual tables per Delegation and to be consolidated by DGD for all
Delegations.
4) Database of electrification projects under execution (Project Portfolio)
This database aims to organize the information elements that characterize projects that have “advanced”
to execution, including their composition, programming, solutions and investments, executing entities,
among others. To this end, it covers the entire management cycle of project implementation, up to the
validation of the work and connections carried out and project closure.
It is therefore a Portfolio of Running Electrification Projects, which will allow EDM to draw up a Plan of
Running Electrification Projects and Activities (described in this section).
The responsibility for maintaining and quality of the information contained in the database will be with
DES. The feed / update should be done at least monthly so that the Running Electrification Project and
Activities Plan reliably conveys the “electrification portfolio” that EDM is running.
The database contains the following sections of information:
• Characterization of electrification projects
• Run cycle control
The following illustrates the database that was structured by the SAEP team in conjunction with the
ProEnergia EDM team.

5) Database of electrification activities under implementation by Delegations (Activity
Portfolio)
This database aims to organize the information elements that characterize the electrification activities that
the Delegations are carrying out, including their composition, programming, solutions and investments.
To this end, it covers the entire management cycle of the execution of an electrification activity, up to the
validation of the work and connections carried out and closure.
It is therefore a Portfolio of Running Electrification Activities, which will allow EDM to draw up a Plan of
Running Electrification Activities and Projects (described in this section).
Responsibility for maintaining and quality of the information contained in the database will lie with DGD.
The feed / update should be done at least monthly so that the Running Electrification Project and Activities
Plan reliably conveys the “electrification portfolio” that EDM is running.
The database contains the following sections of information:
• Characterization of electrification activities
• Run cycle control
The database structure follows the same structure as the Project structure but will be implemented
separately as there will be individual tables per Delegation and to be consolidated by DGD for all
Delegations.
Electrification Plans and Projects
Forecast Electrification Plan (PREV.PLAN)
This plan (PREV.PLAN) will provide EDM with an instrument that will enable it
to show to Government and other Stakeholders, namely MIREME, FUNAE
(electrification partner), donors and development partners, their vision of the
potential and priority areas and electrify within a 3-year time horizon, in line with the effort / objectives
it intends to develop, as well as the required electrification solutions and investments (densification or
extensification) and the type of funding involved, as they are OAS areas or non-OAS to be electrified as
defined in NES.

development partners, what is the project pipeline which EDM has decided as a priority and is working to
evaluate and make them viable.
This information will support the dialogue with its partners to (i) ensure coherence and rationality in the
decision of electrification projects, in liaison with FUNAE and MIREME (directly and through the MIREME
Electrification Committee), and ii) facilitate procurement, negotiating and mobilizing funding in a timely
manner so as not to compromise the electrification objectives assumed for the next 3 years

progress, achievements and risks in the implementation of the Electrification Program and, accordingly, to
decide on improvement actions to be taken.
And it will allow EDM, externally, with the Government and donors and development partners to report
on the progress and results achieved with the Electrification Program, as well as its economic and financial
impacts and on the sustainability of EDM's accounts.

Management Reports
The SAEP team recommends that EMU prepare and distribute internally within the EDM management
team (relevant directorates) a Monthly Electrification Management Report. This
report will be the basis of the Monthly Electrification Management Meeting to be
organized by EMU (see section 3.4.2.3).
At the end of the first semester and of the year EMU should produce a version of this report with
conclusions and recommendations that will allow the Electrification Committee and the Board to make
decisions to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Electrification Program.
The following table presents the structure and basic contents for the operationalization of this report.

Management Dashboards
The SAEP Team designed a preliminary Executive Dashboard to be
validated/reviewed and then implemented by the EMU, to provide the Board,
the Management Team and relevant external stakeholders with simple
performance data on critical indicators (see picture below).
A more Operational Dashboard may be developed by the EMU integrating more detailed and operational
KPIs as well as an overview of the Projects Pipeline and Execution Portfolio (eg. Indicators such as number
of projects in each stage, size and targets, execution status, etc.).
II. Internal Control Routines and Risk Management
Below we present what we consider to be the most important internal control
routines that EMU managers should implement on the electrification processes
to ensure that certain critical decision outputs or moments respect what is
established in the processes and thus whether promotes discipline and effectiveness of the Electrification
Program.

Risk Management Process
Risk can be defined as “The likelihood of loss or the lowest chance of gain caused
by factors that inadvertently affect the achievement of the objectives of the
organization or a highly relevant Project or Program.”
It is therefore clear that the risk may have a negative impact (loss of value) but may also have a positive
value creation effect - both sides of the risk.
In SAEP's view (following figure), in Corporate Risk Management, three aspects
should be considered: i) risk management process at business unit level and
support, ii) infrastructure and risk supervision at directorate level and iii) risk
governance at management level.

For the specific case of the Electrification Program, the SAEP team recommends a first line of Risk
Management and Control at the level of the organizational areas with responsibility for the Electrification
processes. Following a second line of assurance to be ensured by the EMU team, which will monitor,
evaluate and report process risks. Finally, to support the CA in its supervisory role, it is proposed to have
a 3rd line Assurance under the responsibility of the Electrification Committee. As illustrated in the
following figure.

In defining the electrification processes and management and governance tools, responsibilities are
described and the potential and most relevant risks that the organizational areas responsible for the
processes and the EMU and the Electrification Committee should assume are identified.
It will be necessary to equip the Electrification Program with risk analysis and reporting methodologies
and tools, as well as their treatment at these 3 levels of management. For this purpose, we detail below
the methodologies and tools that we consider necessary to implement a structured and systematic risk
management process in the Electrification Program, at the level of:
• Key Indicators Methodology;
• Risk Classification;
• Risk Assessment;
• Risk Treatment;
• Criteria for risk escalation;
• Support tools.
Key Indicators Methodology
Key indicator management is a critical component of the risk management process. This implies the
identification and reporting of indicator measures, analysis of indicator measures to identify current
problems, and above all, the ability to identify trends and make appropriate forecasts.
In order to ensure that there is an efficient key indicator management process, a reporting process will
be agreed by EMU at fixed intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.).
An indicator usually has three associated thresholds, which are indicative of appetite or tolerance for the
associated risk. For each of the thresholds illustrated below, specifications should be defined in terms of
the risk rating criteria at each of these risk levels.
For indicators that are outside the acceptable risk limit (orange or red), a comprehensive process and
treatment plan shall be agreed upon, and ownership shall be defined as agreed by the EMU and the
Electrification Committee.
In order to determine the measure of the indicator and the number of objectives, critical success factors,
risks, and controls will be considered by EMU, as illustrated below. The measure associated with a key
indicator confirms the assessment of the associated control, risk, or objective. If there is a discrepancy
between the measurement of an indicator and the result of a previous assessment, a new assessment
should be triggered.
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 31
Risk Classification
Risk analysis aims to separate minor and acceptable risks from major risks, and to provide information
that supports the assessment and monitoring of these risks. The level of risk is determined by combining
the consequence classification and the likelihood of risk.
The risk rating process should consider the absence of critical controls, not just the analysis of current
controls. The occurrence of one risk may impact another risk. It is therefore important that
interdependencies and correlations between risks are also considered after the initial analysis, or as part
of a specific scenario analysis.
EDM does not always work with perfect information. Confidence in determining the level of risk should
also be considered in the analysis. This context is also important as part of the reporting process.
Risk classification consists of three stages: i) risk identification, ii) risk analysis, and iii) risk assessment,
which are detailed below.
Risk Identification enables management to be aware of the Electrification Program's exposure to
risks, including those risks that are new and emerging and those for which the source of risk is
beyond EMU's control. The purpose of the risk identification activity is to generate an exhaustive list
of risks based on events or circumstances that may highlight, prevent, accelerate, degrade or delay
the achievement of the Program objectives.
A structured and systematic approach to risk identification will be followed to ensure that all key
risks within the Program are identified. This will be achieved by (a) understanding the strategic and
operational objectives of the Program, and (b) analyzing the electrification process to identify
significant risks arising from these processes.
An accurate and clear text needs to be articulated when describing the risks. The text should contain
a description that covers at least the following:
• Something occurs … or “risk event”;
• Leading to … or possible impacts /consequences of a positive or negative nature and
measure;
• Caused by … or direct, latent or root cause of risk; and
• Controlled by … existing controls.
Relevant and up-to-date information is important for risk identification, and when accompanied by
evidence it should be used to identify risks as well as supplement risk perception by management.
These methods are a subset of the methods identified in ISO 31010 (Risk Management - Risk Analysis
Techniques) for risk identification: Workshops and interviews, brainstorming sessions, risk studies
and surveys, business policy reviews and procedures. operating conditions, use of expert knowledge,
use of industry-specific checklists, use of artificial technology and other machine learning techniques.
Risk Analysis helps to understand the nature of the risk and to determine the level of risk. Risk
analysis and measurement contribute to decisions regarding the need to address risks as well as the
definition of the most appropriate and cost-effective strategies. Risk analysis and measurement
involves considering the causes of the risk, its positive and negative impacts, and the likelihood of
those impacts occurring, as well as the speed of manifestation or the speed with which a risk may
materialize. Factors affecting the consequences and likelihood of risks should be identified and
considered as controls.
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 32
Risk analysis is developed with different degrees of detail, depending on the risk, the purpose of the
analysis, and the available information, data and resources. The level of risk detail should match the
purpose: significant risks should be analyzed in more detail compared to lower risks that do not have
a major impact on the project:
• Qualitative risk analysis and classification provides a detailed view of risks in the form of a risk
register.
• Quantitative risk analysis in the form of financial modelling and data simulation enables more
detailed prediction of specific events.
Specialized risk analysis techniques and methodologies should be used for risks that need to be
analyzed in significant detail when appropriate.
To gain a better understanding of risk, it is critical that the causes and sources of risk be identified.
The risk may be caused by internal or external factors; therefore, this process cannot be eliminated
from the risk assessment exercise as it assists management in identifying controls.
Factors affecting the likelihood of risks can be identified. The adequacy of control design and
operational efficiency are first determined. This step is followed by determining the severity of the
consequences if the risk event occurs, considering the efficiency rating. The speed of risk
manifestation is also a factor to consider, as a risk that may materialize faster requires more proactive
attention than a risk that allows warnings before it fully materializes.
After determining the severity of the consequences, the likelihood of these consequences occurring
undetermined, consider the adequacy of the controls (if the control will be effective if applied and
designed), and the classification of the control effectiveness selected in first step. These two
classifications, together with the severity of the consequences and the likelihood of the consequences,
define residual risk, which is plotted in the risk matrix to allow risk prioritization.
Risk assessment is the analysis and measurement of the identified risk. The purpose of risk
assessment is to support management at all levels by prioritizing significant rich in their areas and to
support decision making based on the results of risk analysis and measurement. It is not practical for
any organization to handle all risks in the same way. Therefore, risk prioritization allows management
to allocate more time, effort and resources to risk management that are more likely to happen. Risk
assessment involves:
• Comparing remaining risk with acceptance criteria and setting priorities such as which risk
should be addressed first and how best to address it. Some risks may require new or revised
controls enabled by task initiation. Others may require existing controls to be better or
correctly applied. Still others may require an independent audit to establish the effectiveness
of existing controls, i.e. the efficiency / diligence of applying controls or the extent to which
control design will reduce / mitigate risk.
• Priority setting after risk analysis. The establishment of the risk to be treated first depends on
the magnitude of acceptable residual risk. Here a decision must be made based on the
decreasing order of impact to EMU. In addition, interrelationships with other risks should be
examined and the full impact of the consequences should also be examined as this influences
prioritization.
• Defining an optimal treatment plan through cost-benefit analysis.
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 33
EDM has to make prioritization decisions based on the results of the risk analysis by comparing the level
of risk encountered during the analysis process with the risk / appetite and risk tolerance criteria
established as part of the Framework design and confirmed. prior to risk assessment as part of context
confirmation. This will result in treatment and prioritization for treatment implementation.
Risk Treatment
Risk response / treatment is concerned with developing strategies for reducing and eliminating threats and
events that may create risks with negative impacts or for taking advantage of opportunities and achieving
positive impacts from those risks. Risk handling is done for all material risks by prioritizing risks that
exceed or approach risk appetite or tolerance levels. The purpose of risk treatment is to select and
implement options to address risk. It involves an iterative process of:
• Formulation and selection of risk treatment options;
• Planning and implementation of risk treatment;
• Assessment of the effectiveness of risk treatment;
• Deciding on the level of acceptance of the remaining risk;
• If not acceptable, additional risk treatment.
The project will also have to evaluate risk treatment options, taking the following into account:
• Evaluation of existing controls;
• The assessment of the tolerability of risk levels;
• If not tolerable, the need to create a new risk treatment approach or not;
• The ability to optimize risk that is within appetite and tolerance levels; and
• The potential effectiveness of that treatment.
Selecting the most appropriate risk treatment options involves balancing potential benefits derived from
achieving objectives against the costs, effort and disadvantages of implementation.
It should be noted that these options are not mutually exclusive or appropriate under all circumstances.
Risk treatment options may involve one or more of the following:
• Avoid risk / seek opportunities - This means not proceeding with the activity that results in risk,
considering the loss of opportunity for gain;
• Materialize or increase risk in order to seek an opportunity;
• Remove the source of the risk;
• Change probability - This is done by applying internal controls to reduce the likelihood of risks
with negative impacts and to increase results with potential profit benefits where the rich have a
positive impact;
• Change the consequences - To increase gains and reduce losses. This may include emergency and
business continuity plans.
• Risk Sharing - Risk sharing with other parties (including contracts and risk financing);
• Retention - Risk retention through informed decisions.
Risk treatments, even when carefully designed and implemented, may not produce the expected results
and may produce unintended consequences. Monitoring and review should be an integral part of risk
treatment implementation to ensure that different treatment forums become and remain effective.
Treating the rich can also introduce new risks that need to be managed. If there are no treatment options
or if treatment options do not sufficiently modify the risk, the risk should be recorded and maintained for
review.
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 34
Decision makers and other stakeholders should be aware of the nature and extent of the risks remaining
after risk treatment. Remaining risk should be documented and subject to monitoring, review and where
appropriate, additional treatments.
Preparation and implementation of risk treatment plans:
The purpose of risk treatment plans is to specify how the selected options will be implemented, so that
the arrangements are understood by all stakeholders and that progress against the plan can be monitored.
The treatment plan should clearly identify the order of implementation of risk treatments
Risk management plans should be integrated into the organization's management plans and processes, in
consultation with appropriate stakeholders.
Treatment plan information should include:
• The rationale for selecting treatment options, including expected benefits;
• Those responsible for approving the implementation of the plan;
• The proposed actions;
• The resources required, including contingencies;
• Performance measures;
• The limitations;
• Reporting and monitoring required; and
• The expected moment of execution and completion of the actions.
Risk management plans should be integrated with management processes and discussed with stakeholders
to ensure enough attention, progress and effective implementation.
It is important that key risk indicators are calibrated at least annually to ensure that the defined indicators
and thresholds remain appropriate.
Criteria for risk escalation
Typically, there is a color coding associated with the key indicators as explained above. When in the
orange quadrant, the risk needs to be scaled to the next level of management for notification and possible
risk response decision.
Indicators that have moved to the red quadrant should also be reported to the central risk framework.
These will be considered for the Program risk report.
Support Tools
In order to record the risk in a way that is adaptable and relevant to this project, the table below can be
considered, where the measures highlighted in yellow can be selected based on points that are relevant
to the Program:

electrification management meetings, categorized into two groups:
• Coordination and Decision Meetings - aim to facilitate coordination, alignment and shared
decision-making between the various areas involved in the planning and implementation of the
Electrification Program;
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 37

3. ELECTRIFICATION ARCHITECTURE
OVERVIEW The SAEP team organized electrification processes into an architecture consisting of four processes (PR), which
correspond to the process flow familiar to EDM in Figure 16 (next page). When reading this document on a
computer, SAEP recommends using the View toolbar > Navigation Pane to easily track one’s location in the
handbook(s).
For reference, Electrification Planning processes are in red, and Electrification Execution processes are
in blue. All three handbooks contain both planning and execution processes, so this color-coding scheme will remain
consistent throughout. Reference the follow architecture map (Figure 16) and responsibilities (table 4) to view all
processes at once. Following this color-coding scheme, the breadcrumb circle fill-color in the top right also match
the respective process type.
Planning Processes (left half of figure below) - include detailed mapping information, process descriptions, and
support tools for electrification planning activities, whether in connection planning, project design and engineering,
or financial planning and procurement planning.
Execution Processes (right half of figure below) - related to electrification project execution activities,
connection promotion, financial and procurement management, supply of materials and equipment.
Handbook A - Electrification Processes
Handbook B - Financial Processes
Handbook C - Procurement Processes
The figure below shows the architecture of the electrification processes and illustrates the organization’s model and
the relationship between the processes related to electrification.

Each process (abbreviated PR) in this section is described in terms of:
• Purpose and responsibility (objectives, importance factors and responsible area);
• Process description and flow charts (management and control information);
• Support tools and procedures (tools that regulate the process);
• Potential risks and mitigation

4. ELECTRIFICATION PLANNING AND
EXECUTION
4.1 Forecast Planning of Electrification (PR-P&E.1)
Forecast planning is a process that aims at providing a forecast electrification plan, serving as a basis for
the remaining planning processes. And it should be implemented during the preparation period of the
preparation of the EDM Activity and Budget Plan (PAO) to serve as a basis for setting the targets and
electrification activities of delegations and projects. This plan should be prepared annually, with a forecast
covering of a period of three years.
For more information on the process, refer to Annex 1: Processes and Tools Expanded (PR-P&E.1)
PURPOSE AND RESPONSIBILITY
The process aims to systematize the planning and data collection for new connections as well as to provide
a medium-term forecast plan to achieve the electrification targets outlined in the National Electrification
Strategy. This plan should be reviewed quarterly and implemented annually with a three-year time horizon.
The plan will be consolidated, reviewed, and controlled by the General Directorate for Distribution, and
the Delegations and System Planning and Engineering Directorate (DPSE) should elaborate and provide
inputs to the plan.
The importance and relevance of this process for electrification lies in the following factors: • Provide a guiding plan for EDM based on medium term planning.
• Ensure better articulation with the Ministry of Energy and Mining Resources (MIREME) and FUNAE;
• Provide an indication of areas to be electrified, potential connections to be made, materials and equipment
required as well as financial investment required to achieve the electrification objectives.
Responsible Area: General Directorate for Distribution (DGD)
Participating Critical Areas: Delegations, DPSE
EMU Manager Responsible for work supervision and control: GPE
USAID Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) EDM EMU Handbook A: Electrification | 44
PROCESS STRUCTURE
Main Activities and Outputs: • DPSE articulates with MIREME and FUNAE Planning Departments for alignment and information exchange.
• The Directorate General for Distribution together with the Regional Directorates initially prioritizes the areas
to be electrified based on the national electrification strategy;
• Delegations in coordination with the Systems Planning and Engineering Directorate and the General Directorate
of Distribution and Regional Directorates map out the areas and potential connections.
• Delegations perform operational diagnostics of the network segment that will be connected to potential clients.
• The Systems planning and Engineering Directorate should consolidate the provisional electrification plan.
Flow of Decisions and Approvals: • Delegates from each Delegation submit the repetitive Regional Directorates the survey data as well as their
schedule for validation and approval;
• Regional Directors approve each delegation's forecast plan and submit to the General Directorate of
Distribution;
• The Statistics Department of the Directorate General for Distribution receives the data from the regional
directorates’ reviews and approves the data;
• EDM Electrification Committee validates and approves the draft of the provisional electrification plan;
• The Board of Directors approves the provisional electrification plan.
Internal Controls to Perform in the Process: • The Planning Systems and Engineering Directorate should ensure that EDM electrification areas do not coincide
with FUNAE electrification areas before providing guidelines to the Province delegations (the local commercial
and technical organizational structures have to perform field surveys to collect data about target areas for future
connections, estimate the potential connections to be done and also assess the required investments on the
network).
• The Planning Systems and Engineering Directorate should implement the Media Tension system capacity check
process to indicate how many new customers the system can accommodate for each substation.
• The Delegation's Technical Commercial Sector should select a sample of 10% of the number of surveys
submitted by community/area leaders to verify on the field the accuracy of the data before drawing up the
delegation's forecast plan. (Note: often the Delegations collect information from the Community leaders. In
these cases, the Delegation must implement a verification routine of the accuracy of that data, at least for a
sample if it cannot verify all areas surveyed. As the Delegations do not have cartographic maps, they have to rely
on paper documents of the communities and on using paper templates where the Delegation register all
connections surveyed in each area. This template was designed by the Electrification Team.)
• The Delegation Maintenance and Operations Sector should ensure that a diagnostic of the low voltage grid
segment is executed during the survey of materials required to provide electricity to a target area and to do a
set of potential new connections. The objective is to ensure a control to be executed by the Maintenance and
Operations Sector prior to the Delegation commercial sector submitting the connections plan, in order to
verify that an analysis to the capacity of the network was performed to the areas where there are plans to
expand connections.

4.2 Electrical System Availability Analysis (PR-P&E.2)
The analysis of the availability of the electrical system aims to verify the behavior of the electrical system
in the face of the addition of system load by potential new connections in order to avoid bottleneck nodes
in the network that limit the power flow and reduce the quality of service of the network to EDM
customers originated by the electrification program. Hence, this process will ensure that the technical
risks of electrification expansion defined/planned in the previous process are systematically addressed by
all Delegations.
The process will recommend grid interventions to achieve the capacity to accommodate more grid load
while maintaining voltage and frequency levels stable and within the tolerances allowed in the Network
Code (Ministerial Diploma of 27 August 2014).
TOOLS AND SUPPORT PROCEDURES
Procedures / rules / systems to apply: • For the diagnosis of the network for new connections, the following diagnostic dimensions must be observed: 1)
Transformation Station Diagnostics to supply the potential connections; 2) Diagnostics of the electronic circuit;
3) Inspection of existing circuit and 4) Occurrences verified in the circuit.
• To systematize data collection for diagnosis, the Delegation Maintenance and Operations Sector should use the
following tools:
o Diagnosis of Load Capacity at Transformation Station
o Circuit Diagnostics and Inspection
• The survey of potential connections should ensure the distinction between potential connections in their
Mandatory Service Zone (MSZ) and potential connections in Non-Mandatory Service Zone (Non-MSZ).
• For the survey of potential connections, two tools will be used, one to make available to local authorities to fill
in and another to be consolidated by Delegations and Regional Directorates:
o The survey of potential connections and investments needed
o The survey of potential connections by areas

The previous section refers to implementation of an electrification planning process, and there are a few
technical issues listed there, but this section addresses the technical elements of the planning and
forecast of electrification.
For more information on the process, refer to Annex 1: Processes and Tools Expanded (PR-P&E.2)
PURPOSE AND RESPONSIBILITY
The process aims to verify the technical capacity of the High to Medium Voltage electrical system to support
new intended connections and recommends solutions to be adopted to avoid constraints on the Medium
Voltage network.
The importance and relevance of this process for electrification lies in the following factors:
• The process allows you to plan maintenance work on the electrical system to accommodate the
number of new connections proposed by the electrification program.
• Reduces the cost of corrective maintenance on electrical systems due to the exponential increase in
network load without impact analysis.
• Feeds new wiring planning processes to avoid disturbing normal behavior of the electrical system.

Annex 3: Details of the World Bank “ProEnergia” Project
The Government of Mozambique intends is implementing the project “ProEnergia” under the program
“Energia para Todos”, with World Bank Group funding.
The Project’s objective is to intensify access to electricity for more families and companies throughout
the country, contributing to the universal electrification of Mozambique by 2030, The Project will help
expand access to electricity to peri-urban and rural areas throughout the country, using and expanding
the existing national grid and installing mini-grids based on solar generation in areas not covered by the
national grid.
Electricidade de Moçambique, E.P. (EDM) and Fundo de Energia (FUNAE) (both under MIREME) will be
the implementing entities. EDM and FUNAE will implement the project autonomously in distinct territorial
units according to specific Project components. EDM will implement Component 1 activities (densification
and extension of the national grid) while FUNAE will implement Component 2 activities (mini-grids).
The overall project has three components that make up a sustainable approach to electrification,
incorporating international experience, technical assistance and capacity building support.
Table 5. Description of the ProEnergia Project components
Component Description Expected Results
Component A:
Peri-urban and
Rural
Electrification
(Densification)
This component will finance the design,
procurement of materials and construction works
required to electrify all participating households
and businesses in the project target areas with high
population density, located close to existing
electricity networks (in peri-urban and rural
areas). It will be implemented by EDM.
EDM have identified over 500 settlements to be
electrified in approximately 20 districts across the
country.
The component is expected to connect around
267,000 households, of which:
1) 197,600 are in rural areas and
2) 69,400 in peri-urban areas.
It is expected that nearly 50 percent of new
connections are made in the five poorest
provinces of Mozambique – Niassa, Nampula, and
Zambezia, Cabo Delgado and Sofala. In particular,
more than 85,000 connections are expected to be
made in Nampula.
Component B:
Off-grid
Electrification
(though mini-
grids)
This component will finance the installation of
mini-grids for produce and distribute electricity in
areas where connection to the national grid is not
viable in the short and medium term.
This component will be implemented by FUNAE
through public-private partnerships (PPP) based on
contracts for the sale of electricity to EDM.
FUNAE has identified 13 potential mini-grid sites
across several districts in the north of
Mozambique to be supplied through combined
solar PV and battery storage with a total estimated
capacity of 2.6 MWp and with the potential to
reach 7,000 consumers.
The component will finance:
1) The construction of up to six of mini-grids,
adding approximately 4,000 new customers.
2) The expansion of off-grid energy markets in
Mozambique by supporting quality-certified
SHS’s and potential other energy
technologies such as solar water pumps for
agriculture and efficient cooking solution. It
is expected to reach around 18, 000
beneficiaries.
Component C:
Technical
Assistance and
Implementation
Support
This component will finance various technical
assistance activities, capacity building and
implementation support by MIREME, EDM,
FUNAE and the Energy Regulatory Authority, to
ensure the Project’s sustainability and monitor the
It is expected to strength the capacity of EDM
and FUNAE to implement the strategy.
For EDM will be implemented the following
initiatives: 1) Operational support; 2) Community
Engagement Program (connection campaign, etc.);
3) Young professional program; 4) Gender

mainstreaming; and 5) Capacity building and
sector studies.
For FUNAE will be implemented the following
initiatives: 1) Implementation support; 2)
Independent verification agent and consultancy
services for Result-based financing (RBF) and 3)
Capacity Building
Source: WBG, ProEnergia Appraisal Document
The project expects to benefit around 289,000 new customers provided with electricity services (through
grid, mini-grids and stand-alone SHS) including households (close to 1.45 million people representing
almost 5 percent of the population), enterprises and public facilities (800).
The Project Financing will have a duration of five years, funded through an IDA grant (60 million USD)
with joint co-financing for Component A in the form of a grant (70 million USD) from a new MDTF that
has been established, as it is demonstrated in the table below:
Table 6. ProEnergia Project budgeted financing for each component
Project Component IDA Financing ($M) MDTF ($M) Total ($M)
A: Peri-urban and rural electrification 60 70 130
B: Off-grid electrification 13 0 13
C: Technical assistance Implementation support 9 0 9
Total 82 70 152
Source: WBG, ProEnergia Appraisal Document
The project is simultaneously complemented by three key technical assistance initiatives that are currently
ongoing financed by the Bank through ESMAP and PERIP:
• First, geospatial planning tool that will support determine how to optimally expand the electrical
grid, while identifying economically viable mini-grid sites, and suggesting priority focus areas for
standalone solar solutions.
• Second, an off-grid market assessment that will provide information on the status, players and
barriers for off-grid solutions.
• Third, a low-cost grid design review that will define the standards to maximize the use of
resources and, thus, maximize access. This technique promotes the use of single-wire earth
return (SWER) and shield wire schemes when the load and the geographic conditions are
adequate. They are expected to significantly reduce the cost of connecting households compared
to the traditional three-phase lines currently used in Mozambique for grid-based electricity
access expansion.
EDM will implement Component A (Peri-urban and rural electrification) and jointly with FUNAE
component C (Technical assistance Implementation support) using a Project Implementation Unit (PIU),
a newly formed unit in EDM to lead electrification projects. The PIU is led by a Director, a manager and
is supplemented with additional staff.
The PIU for the project besides the usual management activities will need to prepare the budgeting, ensure
the timely and accurate reporting, undertake the procurement activities and ensure that there is
