• How should we define and track energy access?
• How should we use public and donor funding?
• Why are kerosene subsidies harming the market?
• What impact does VAT and import duty have on our sector and its customers?
• Why do we need to see an increase in finance and investment in distributed, renewable energy?

• Why do we need to protect Intellectual Property and prevent counterfeit products?
• How should we manage product life cycles and recycling?
