Abstract
The objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of energy diversification on child health in sub-Saharan African countries selected due to their energy vulnerability and the challenges related to accessing modern energy sources. Using data from 1990 to 2022 from the World Bank and the WHO, and employing estimation techniques such as Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGSLS), Dynamic Fixed Effects (DFE), Double Least Squares (DMS), and quantile regression (QR), the results reveal that energy diversification reduces the infant mortality rate. Energy diversification significantly contributes to reducing infant mortality. Increasing the share of renewable energies, particularly solar and hydropower, improves access to stable electricity and reduces dependence on polluting fuels.
