This report explores how North Africa can harness green hydrogen for industrial growth, highlighting key enablers and barriers to its development.

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.

Leaders of the ‘Accelerated Partnership for Renewables in Africa’ (APRA) gathered at the COP28 in Dubai today to drive a resilient and inclusive green growth in Africa through renewables.

The Accelerated Partnership for Renewables in Africa (APRA) Investment Forum officially kicks off today in Nairobi to foster open dialogue, further the development of a robust project pipeline and mobilise large-scale investments to accelerate the energy transition and support the development of green industries within APRA countries.

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.

The RRA report presents clear and practical steps to maximise the country’s use of renewables in driving sustainable socio-economic growth.

This joint report by RES4AFRICA, IRENA and UNECA calls for enhanced co-operation to accelerate SDGs in Africa and support a just and inclusive energy transition.
