The African Development Bank Database Management System (DBMS) for Energy Regulators
How can digital transformation strengthen energy regulation, improve transparency and support more efficient electricity markets across Africa?
This case study explores how the African Development Bank (AfDB), through its Africa Energy Sector Technical Assistance Program (AESTAP), is supporting energy regulators in modernising their operations through tailored Database Management Systems (DBMS).
From Ghana’s experience in digitalising consumer complaints management and regulatory processes to Nigeria’s improvements in regulatory reporting and data management, the initiative demonstrates how digital tools can strengthen institutional capacity, improve access to reliable information and support more accountable decision-making.
Drawing on experiences from Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, Uganda, mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, the case study examines achievements, implementation challenges and lessons learned, highlighting the importance of institutional ownership, capacity building and stakeholder engagement for sustainable digital transformation.
