Why is it important?
This article contributes to the debate and evidence of LED in sub-Saharan Africa which has been largely unrepresented in the extant literature. It also provides a valuable resource for policy-makers, politicians, development agencies, local practitioners, local governments and all stakeholders involved in delivering LED.
