SUMMARY:AECE2-ESMAP webinar on Energy for Jobs
DESCRIPTION:Join this webinar hosted by the World Bank’s Kenya Country Office and ESMAP on opportunities for creation of sustainable jobs in Eastern and Southern Africa (AFE) . They will explore the opportunities and challenges in accelerating access to energy\, expanding economic opportunities and creating sustainable jobs in the agriculture and livestock sectors. \n \nThis webinar brings together agriculture and energy practitioners to explore how to unlock transformation in the Agri-food systems. Agriculture accounts for 56 percent of total employment in Eastern and Southern Africa (AFE). Improving productivity in agriculture\, livestock\, and fisheries\, and supporting approaches that allow smallholder farmers\, livestock producers\, and fish producers to move up the value chains is critical. However\, the lack of reliable energy access in these rural areas presents a major barrier to economic activity and job creation\, and to the expansion of benefits to smallholder farmers. In these rural areas\, accelerated access to energy needed to achieve economic growth and job creation can only happen through distributed renewable energy (DRE) solutions\, such as solar home systems\, micro-grids\, and mini-grids. \nDuring this webinar\, you will learn firsthand from practitioners about distributed renewable energy (DRE) solutions\, how DRE facilitates higher productivity in agriculture and livestock value chains\, and how it enables sustainable job creation. We will hear about experiences to accelerate the expansion of access to energy in AFE\, South Asia and beyond. We will discuss what has worked\, what has not\, and how successful approaches can be replicated and scaled up. \nThe event will be chaired by Qimiao Fan\, Division Director for Kenya\, Rwanda\, Somalia\, and Uganda at the World Bank. The presentation will be given by Dana Rysankova\, Lead Energy Specialist at the World Bank. Closing remarks will be delivered by Fanny Missfeldt-Ringius\, Practice Manager at ESMAP\, World Bank. The panelists include: \n- Kasozí Tondo James\, Principal Engineer at the Ministry of Agriculture\, Animal Industry and Fisheries\, Uganda \n- Amanullah Alamzai\, Senior Agriculture Economist at the World Bank \n- Bas Hetterschied\, Manager Partnerships at Wageningen University & Research (WUR)

SUMMARY:Webinar: Falling behind - What happens when customers default?
DESCRIPTION:With support from Good Energies Foundation\, 60dB is excited to run a webinar digging into the insights of their latest report: Falling Behind: Defaulted Customers. With insights from interviews with 1\,400+ customers across 5 countries\, they'll explore what life looks like for off-grid energy customers who have defaulted and had their energy product locked\, repossessed\, or returned – plus what companies can do to reduce this risk and its consequences. They'll cover insights on contract comprehension\, customer service\, repossession processes\, and what happens to customers’ energy access after they lose access in this manner. Join for a discussion with different sector stakeholders on what it all means\, with plenty of time for Q&A too.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Building gender-inclusive PURE business models
DESCRIPTION:Women are essential yet often invisible drivers of economic activity across developing regions\, comprising 40% of the global agricultural workforce and 58% of Africa's self-employed population. Despite their significant contributions\, women face persistent barriers in accessing and benefiting from Productive Use of Renewable Energy (PURE) technologies. \nJoin GOGLA for an insightful webinar to discover how innovative companies are transforming their business models to better serve women's energy needs while building sustainable businesses. \nIn this webinar\, you'll understand why women represent only one-third of PURE technology end-users despite their economic significance\, along with the transformative impact when this gap is addressed. We'll explore how customer personas serve as powerful tools for developing gender-smart business models by mapping women's unique needs\, constraints\, and aspirations across different segments—from subsistence farmers to growth-oriented entrepreneurs. This user-centered approach helps companies identify critical pain points and opportunities throughout the customer journey\, informing everything from product design to marketing strategies and support services. \nDrawing on existing literature and real-world examples of gender-smart approaches that work\, including Oorja's "Farming as a Service" and Agsol's women-friendly solar mills designed for lightweight operation and small batch processing\, this webinar will present a framework for creating gender-smart businesses across the entire customer journey. The speakers will also discuss ecosystem support by exploring policy recommendations and partnerships needed to scale these approaches.This webinar offers practical insights for anyone interested in closing the gender gap in energy access while tapping into a significant underserved market. \n  \n  \nSpeakers\n\n\n\nNisha Singh \nSenior Gender and Financial Inclusion Specialist·Distill Inclusion \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWilleke Westra \nPartnerships Manager·Agsol \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSejal Agarwal \nImpact Manager·Oorja Solutions \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrenda Marbaniang \nPolicy Manager·GOGLA

By accelerating the Productive Use of Renewable Energy (PURE) across these multiple value chains\, we can transform food systems in the Global South\, unlocking low-emission development pathways\, improving livelihoods\, increasing incomes and building resilience to the impacts climate change. \nTo drive this transformation\, the PURE Growth Fund will launch in Tanzania in May 2025. The fund will support clean energy SMEs and agribusinesses to scale up through a multi-dimensional approach combining incentive capital\, technical assistance and fostering an enabling environment for PURE technologies to achieve greater integration within food systems. \nWe invite you to join REEEP and guest speakers from GOGLA and the Tanzania Horticulture Association (TAHA) for our pre-launch Webinar featuring: \n\nan overview of the PURE Growth Fund and Q&A\ninsight on how expanding renewable energy in agriculture can strengthen agri-food value chains and benefit local populations\nthe need for programmes and initiatives at the energy-agriculture nexus to support SMEs to foster sustainable market development

SUMMARY:Tracking SDG 7: The Energy Progress Report 2025
DESCRIPTION:How many people around the world today still lack access to clean energy? And how many people still rely on dirty fossil fuels for cooking\, risking their health in consequence? Additionally\, how much international funds have been flowing to the developing countries in support of their clean energy development? \nThe answers to these questions are related to the targets set forth in the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7\, which aims to ensure universal access to affordable\, reliable\, sustainable and modern energy by 2030. \nJoin the virtual briefing to learn more about the latest data that will be revealed in the new Tracking SDG 7: The Energy Progress Report 2025. \nWhile progress has been made\, it is marked by wide regional disparities\, underscoring the urgency for more impact-driven financing support from the international community to developing countries. \nKey trends ahead of the data release include: \n- Access to electricity has increased\, but progress is uneven across the world.\n- Progress is lagging on universal access to clean cooking.\n- Renewable energy continued to grow. But installed renewable capacity per capita shows geographic disparities.\n- Energy intensity declined but the energy efficiency rate needs major improvement.\n- International public financial flows to developing countries in support of clean energy increased compared to previous years.\n- The report is a product of close collaboration among the five SDG 7 custodian agencies. \nPlease check the agencies’ websites and social media accounts on 25 June for the full report: \n- International Energy Agency (IEA): www.iea.org\n- International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA): www.irena.org\n- United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD): https://unstats.un.org/UNSDWebsite\n- World Bank: https://trackingsdg7.esmap.org/\n- World Health Organization (WHO): www.who.int \nThe report will also be presented to decision-makers at a special launch event on 16 July 2025 at 1:15pm EDT at the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) on Sustainable Development in New York\, open to registered HLPF participants and anyone with a United Nations ground pass\, and livestreamed at webtv.un.org.
