Description: This new report seeks to build on the political momentum that has been created over the past year to increase energy access in Africa.
Its main aim is to provide additional policy-relevant information and insights to support the implementation of ambitious new public and private initiatives now underway that aim to increase energy access swiftly across Africa, especially the New Deal on Energy for Africa, spearheaded by the African Development Bank.
In light of the continent’s dynamic links with the rest of the world, the report also highlights critical steps that must be taken by leaders in the international public and private sectors.
