## Benin
Summary:

*
* A stable and increasing real GDP growth rates but slow decrease in relative poverty levels.
* Poverty affects households in poorly educated households in rural areas to much higher levels than urban areas.
* Education disparities happen mainly along community-level dimensions through high socio-economic segregation of schools and different access to resources.
* Large disparity of access to electricity between urban and rural households, which directly negatively affects the environmental conditions of individual rural households.
* No access to electricity due to both lacking rural infrastructure and electrical grid connection costs being too high.
* Rapid electrification will require both infrastructure expansion and policy commitment to finding ways of lowering grid connection costs.

Thus, though having a relatively stable and growing real GDP,
Benin suffers from slow decreases in its relative poverty rates coupled with a relative stagnation in the inequality of its wealth dispersion.
Additionally, the country's poverty rates have a high heterogeneity with relatively more rural households and households with poor education in poverty.
A large part of education disparities happens at the community-level, with schools marked by high socio-economic segregation,
but household-level disparities, especially environmental ones, playing a role.
One of those determinants is a household's access to electricity,
of which there is an enormous disparity between urban and rural households.
The primary reasons for not having access to electricity are simple physical non-availability with no infrastructure being available in rural areas,
as well as connection costs to the main electrical grid being too high.
To decrease the effects of this driving force of inequality,
both infrastructural expansion as well as policy commitments toward affordable connections to electrical grids are thus of vital importance.
