Food security is often conceptualized in the context of food energy, or calorie intake. However, it is increasingly recognized that a large proportion of the world's population has diets that are deficient in other nutrients, especially micronutrients such as vitamin A and iron. In Ghana, it is estimated that over three-quarters of children 6-59 months suffer from some level of anemia, and that over 60 percent of children less than 6 years old have sub-clinical vitamin A deficiency. It has been estimated that vitamin A deficiency contributes to 1 out of 3 deaths of Ghanaian children between 6 and 59 months, or a total of 86,000 deaths between 2001 and 2005.

Many offgrid projects undertaken by the Ghanaian Government to provide electricity to this region have been largely unsuccessful due to the fiscal burdens that prevent the coverage of operational and maintenance costs. This case study project proposes a sustainable electrification system and implementation plan for Mbanayili, a village in northern Ghana. The term "sustainable" is used in reference to two factors: 1) the fiscal sustainability of the villagers to maintain and pay for electrification, accomplished by using a manageable and affordable power generation system and 2) environmental sustainability, through the use of renewable energy. In order to minimize costs, partial electrification was proposed: electrifying a multifunctional community center as opposed to each individual residence.
