Datasets for a multidimensional analysis connecting clean energy access and social development in sub-Saharan Africa.

In this article we present datasets used for the construction of a composite indicator, the Social Clean Energy Access (Social CEA) Index, presented in detail in [1]. This article consists of comprehensive social development data related to electricity access, collected from several sources, and processed according to the methodology described in [1]. The new composite index includs 24 indicators capturing the status of the social dimensions related to electricity access for 35 SSA countries.
