This call seeks bankable renewable-energy in APRA countries to fast-track Africa’s clean-energy rollout, bolster green industrialisation, expand energy access and help member states meet economic-growth and climate-resilience goals.

During the ‘High-level Panel on Energy Transition Pathways in Emerging Economies’, at IRENA’s 15th Assembly, high-level representatives discussed pathways to accelerate and scale up renewables deployment, and harness public finance to derisk private capital in emerging economies.

APRA, the Accelerated Partnership for Renewables in Africa, was one of the main areas of focus at “Africa's Green Momentum: Harnessing Renewables for Industrialisation”, a high-level event on the second day of COP29 organised by Kenya, IRENA and the NDC Partnership.
