Accelerate Renewable Energy and Green Transitions
Objective :
Double Africa’s renewable energy adoption by 2030 through trade, investment, and policy
advocacy.
Activities :
- Resource Mobilization for Renewable Energy
- Mobilize $2 billion by 2030 to finance renewable energy projects across Africa, leveraging public-private partnerships, impact investors, climate finance mechanisms, and multilateral development funds.
- Establish a Pan-African Green Energy Investment Fund to consolidate resources for
solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy initiatives.
- Develop innovative financing models such as blended finance, green bonds, and pay-as
you-go schemes to attract private sector participation.
- Deployment of Decentralized Energy Solutions
- Deploy 200 decentralized solar and wind mini-grids in rural and underserved
communities by 2028, ensuring access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy.
- Incorporate smart grid technology, IoT monitoring, and mobile payment systems to
optimize operations and maintenance.
- Provide community training and local capacity building to ensure sustainable operation
and management of energy systems.
- Renewable Energy Policy Advocacy
- Advocate for and support renewable energy policy adoption in 25 African countries by
2030, promoting incentives, regulatory frameworks, and grid integration standards.
- Develop a Renewable Energy Policy Toolkit for governments, including feasibility
studies, regulatory guidelines, and best practices.
- Conduct policy dialogues, workshops, and webinars with policymakers, utilities, and
private sector stakeholders to accelerate uptake of clean energy solutions.
- Capacity Building and Technical Assistance
- Train 1,500 energy sector professionals, policymakers, and entrepreneurs by 2027 on
renewable energy technologies, project development, and financing models.
- Establish renewable energy innovation hubs to incubate start-ups, pilot new
technologies, and facilitate cross-border knowledge exchange.
- Monitoring, Evaluation, and Impact Reporting
- Implement a Renewable Energy Impact Dashboard to track project deployment, energy
generation, CO₂ reduction, and community benefits.
- Publish an annual Renewable Energy Progress Report highlighting achievements,
lessons learned, and investment opportunities.
