IFC – IRENA joint event
The event aims to bring together Governments and international experts to network, share experiences and discuss the Energy Access agenda and propose a way forward to reach SDG7 by 2030 through clean energy solutions. Participants will explore some of the emerging themes around universal access to clean and affordable energy in the continent. This might lead to an understanding of the opportunities, and challenges of incorporating energy access both on the demand and supply side, including a renewed understanding of its complexity and the key role played by the private sector. The event will also offer a platform to share experiences and successful approaches adopted to inform others in scaling up access. By the end of the session, the hope is to have a better understanding of what success would look like to achieve universal electricity access through clean energy and what policies, systems, and strategies countries need to adopt.
