Organizer: AME Trade

Description: The African continent is a huge reservoir of energy resources, with potentials largely unexploited and many more undiscovered. The Africa region is said to have more than enough energy resources to meet its energy needs, well into the foreseeable future.

An African Development Bank (AfDB) study notes that investment needed to close the electricity deficit in Africa is estimated at an annual cost of $35 to $50 billion to achieve 100% urban electrification, 95% rural electrification by 2025.

With most African countries having a target of achieving universal electricity access by 2025 and 2030, the question ‘how can Africa attract private sector investment into the energy sector?’ remains pertinent.

This webinar on ‘Closing the US$50 Billion Per Annum Investment Gap in Africa’s Energy Sector’ will bring key voices influencing the energy sector, both from the government and financial institution side to discuss issues holding the continent back. Furthermore, the speakers will share their experience in trying out the Puttru digital platform and how they see the technology closing the energy sector investment gap in Africa.

Organizer: ARE

Description: Energy and gender equality are key drivers for development and economic growth. The economic empowerment of women is one of the four pillars of the EU Gender Action Plan, explicitly stated as a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG-5) and intrinsically linked to most of the other SDGs.

Women empowerment and entrepreneurship are important sources of growth, prosperity and poverty reduction with positive impacts on families and children, health and nutrition, communities and the national economy at large.

At the intersection of gender equality, clean energy access and sustainable economic development, it is fundamental that women are supported and encouraged to engage in all stages of the decentralised renewable energy (DRE) space: at customer, company and investor levels and that the contributions of women to the energy access sector are recognised. As such, the socio-economic empowerment of women should be strongly encouraged and facilitated to foster gender balance in the sector and unlock its benefits for the long-term sustainable development of rural communities in developing countries.

This webinar aims to share best practices from innovative entrepreneurs embedding gender in their business models, as well as to spur discussion on best practices to promote gender equality in the DRE sector.
