APRA Ghana National Consultation Workshop

The Accelerated Partnership for Renewables in Africa (APRA) is an African country-led international alliance of governments and stakeholders working together to accelerate the deployment of renewables-based energy systems to enhance energy access, enable green industrialisation, and improve economic and societal resilience. Currently, APRA's African members include Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, Namibia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe, with supporting partners including Denmark, Germany, the UAE, the USA, Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP), Rockefeller and Brothers Funds (RBF) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) fulfilling the secretariat role.

At COP28 in Dubai, leaders of APRA countries and partners underscored its role in galvanizing action and inspiring global climate leadership through a joint declaration. As part of this process, IRENA in collaboration with the government of Ghana organised consultative workshop, outcomes of which informed the process of developing country-specific work plan within a broader perspective of kick-starting an ambitious rollout for renewables deployment.

The Ghana workshop held on 17 July 2024, in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy (MoE), was supported by a series of bilateral consultations with government entities and partners to draw up a detailed planning and coordination framework for the development and implementation under the umbrella of this partnership.

Closed meeting, by invitation only.
