M. Tech. Business Administration / The question of energy supply and reliable sources of energy is a topical issue in most developing countries, as the reliability of energy supply has a significant impact on development. Swaziland, like most underdeveloped countries in sub-Saharan Africa, suffers from poverty and low economic activity, particularly in the rural areas. The kingdom's rural areas are characterised by low entrepreneurial activities, which may be attributed to the lack of reliable access to energy, and in particular, electricity. To reverse the scourge of stagnant economic development, Swaziland, like many other developing countries in Africa including South Africa and Zimbabwe, has introduced rural electrification programmes to improve access to energy within rural communities. Against this background, the purpose of this study, therefore, is to assess how rural electrification promotes entrepreneurship in rural areas.
