From the Editorial;

In this January 2010 issue, the e-net magazine focuses on community governance issues relating to energy access for the poor. Although the energy needs in less urbanised communities are low, energy access mechanisms are complex and diverse as are the systems required
to meet them. Local conditions sometimes suggest that the decentralised approach is preferred but success stories in the decentralised approach are few and far between due to the issues being more complex and not adequately understood by both policy makers and project implementers.
