孟加拉国首都达卡是南亚发展最快的城市之一，人口超过 1300 万，预计到 2025 年将容纳超过 2000 万人口。这种增长伴随着城市贫民窟的增长，以及随之而来的城市贫民获得水、卫生、清洁能源和交通等基本城市服务的挑战。尽管电力供应对基本生存很重要，但它并没有被视为城市的基本服务，因此，扶贫和基础设施建设计划并没有完全解决这个问题。本研究基于利益相关者互动方法，通过一系列逻辑顺序问题来评估电力使用的可用性、可及性、可负担性、可靠性和连续性，评估了达卡城市贫困地区的电力获取现状，并确定了需求和供应方面电力获取的障碍。还根据实地考察的经验提出了针对障碍的具体建议，并确定了孟加拉国以外的最佳做法。
Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, is one of the fastest growing cities in Southern Asia, having population of more than 13 million, and is expected to accommodate more than 20 million by 2025. This growth has been accompanied by the growth of urban slums and the subsequent challenges to access basic urban services like water, sanitation, clean energy, and transport for the urban poor. Despite its importance for basic survival, electricity supply is not recognized as a basic urban service, as a result of which, the poverty alleviation and basic infrastructure provision programs have not addressed this issue completely. On the basis of a stakeholder interaction approach, following a set of logically sequenced questions to assess the availability, accessibility, affordability, reliability and continuity of usage of electricity, this study assesses the current status of electricity access in an urban poor area of Dhaka and identifies barriers to electricity access from both demand and supply side. Barriers specific recommendations are also suggested based on the experiences from field visit and the best practices outside Bangladesh are also identified.
