The Integrated Distribution Framework (IDF) is proposed;itbuildsaround the idea of having an entity with the responsibility forpermanentlydelivering universal electricity service within its area of operation by usingacontext-specific mix of delivery modes,apartnership with some external entity,anda viable business plan. Parts of the IDF have been successfully implemented across the developing world,and its structure and scope can be adaptedtoeach country.
