Description: The biggest challenge facing countries is for their government leaders to prioritize, take the right policy decisions, and effectively implement them. I take pride in my Institute’s role in addressing this challenge by collaborating with the U.S. government’s Power Africa initiative. Together, we have supported government leaders across Africa in translating their power sector priorities into tangible change for their citizens. Over the past decade, my Institute has been privileged to execute the Power Africa Senior Advisors Group program. This experience sheds light on the importance of good leadership for making the power sector deliver better, cleaner, and more affordable energy solutions, and how trust, expertise, and experience are key when working with leaders to make a change.
