In most developing countries, the electricity sector policies are chiefly hatched to achieve universal
access to electricity. Unfortunately, several implemented projects are characterised with unreliable
supply, high cost of energy and multiple vulnerabilities to natural and human threats. Resilience has been
mooted as a concept that correspondingly addresses these challenges while fostering sustainable
development reforms. Accordingly, several frameworks have been developed but they are atomistic in
their classifications of indicators and fail to demonstrate how local actions promote globally defined
sustainable development targets. In this study, the terms used in resilience discourses are chronologically
explored drawing from them valued capabilities and the critical considerations taken in constructing
frameworks. A synthesized framework has been proposed to primarily facilitate the identification and
classification of indicators and their attendant metrics. We argue for a case of deploying the framework
in a developing country setting, such as Uganda, to facilitate sustainable development.
