Thinking outside the Grid: The role of decentralized power

Decentralized electricity access is commonly provided either through mini-grid solutions or off-grid systems such as stand-alone power systems (SAPS) (Figure 4). A mini-grid system is a localized power network where a totality or a portion of the electricity produced is injected into a small isolated distribution grid14. These

Decentralization in Tunisia: Empowering Towns, Engaging People

However, the decentralization practiced since Tunisia''s independence in 1956 has been "just pure fiction" according to Tunisian scholar Neji Baccouche. 1 In reality, the political system was highly centralized under both presidents Habib Bourguiba and Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, a "political choice which addressed the need of rebuilding a
